Angels | Chords + Lyrics

Intro

| E Esus4 | E Esus4 |

Verse 1

Bridge 1

| D5 Dsus2 | A |
So when I’m lying in my bed, thoughts running through my head.
| E | D5 A/C# | E |
And I feel that love is dead, I’m loving angels instead.

Chorus 1

| B5 | C#m | Asus2 | E |
And through it all, she offers me protection, a lot of love, and affection, whether I’m right or wrong.
| Bsus4 | C#m | Aadd9 | E |
And down the waterfall, wherever it may take me, I know that life won’t break me when I come to call.
| F#m11 | D A | E |
She won’t forsake me, I’m loving angels instead.

Verse 2

| E | E | Aadd9 Amaj9 | B5 |
When I’m feeling weak, and my pain walks down a one-way street.
| E | E | A Amaj7 | B |
I look above, and I know I’ll always be blessed with love.

Bridge 2

| D5 | A |
And as the feeling grows, she breathes flesh to my bones.
| E | D A | E |
And when love is dead, I’m loving angels instead.

Angels Guitar Lesson | Course Preview

My one guitar arrangement is an example of how you could arrange a piano ballad like this, for one acoustic guitar.

For example, the first chord of verse 2, a C-shaped E major, uses the low E string and a pattern moving between the bass note and chord to imitate a traditional piano part.

During the arrangement, open strings are incorporated in order to make the chords sound as big as possible. These chords, because of the open strings incorporated now get some strange-sounding names.

Most strangely perhaps, the Badd4, closest relative here would be the sus4, a chord without the 3rd. With a 3rd, it becomes an add4, very unusual.

The original version of Angels was decorated with massive production, including a full band and string orchestra. To incorporate all this on just one guitar is, of course, impossible. It comes down to picking the most important parts.

A full understanding of the movement of the chords and what the melody does is needed in order to build the arrangement.

Below, you find the first example from the first guitar lesson detailing how to play Angels, exactly as I do in the video above.

There is also the solo and then finally the complete song with full TAB.

In the final three steps, we look at how to play Angels’ vocal melody, as well as practice all modes the melody uses.
