Angel Of The Morning

Chip Taylor


Tom: C

C                F                    G
  There'll be no strings to bind your hands
           F                    C       F  G  F
Not if her love can't bind your heart
C                F              G
  And there's no need to take a stand
          F                C        F  G  F
She's the one who chose to start
Dm               F                G
  And there's no need to take her home
Dm           F                 G       F G
  She's old enough to face the dawn


[Chorus]
C               F            G         F  G
  Just call her angel of the morning, (angel)
C                F                G           F G
  Just touch her cheek before you leave her, (baby)
C               F            G         F  G
  Just call her angel of the morning, (angel)
F                              ( C )
  Then slowly turn away, turn away

C   F  G   F   x2

[Verse]
C           F                   G
  Maybe the sun's light will be dim
             F         C      F  G  F
And it won't matter anyhow
C              F                G
  If morning's echo says you've sinned
             F               C      F  G  F
Well, it was what she wanted now
Dm              F              G
  And if you're victims of the night
Dm             F              G       F  G
  She won't be blinded by the light

[Chorus]
C               F            G         F  G
  Just call her angel of the morning, (angel)
C                F                G           F G
  Just touch her cheek before you leave her, (baby)
C               F            G         F  G
  Just call her angel of the morning, (angel)
F                             
  Then slowly turn away, she won't beg you to stay,

C                 F            C
      Through the tears of the day
       F      G     F       G
Of the years, lady, she's a lady


[Chorus]
C               F            G         F  G
  Just call her angel of the morning, (angel)
C                F                G           F G
  Just touch her cheek before you leave her, (baby)
C               F            G         F  G
  Just call her angel of the morning, (angel)
C            F         G         F  G

C               F            G         F  G
  Just call her angel of the morning, (angel)
C                F                G           F G
  Just touch her cheek before you leave her, (baby)
C               F            G         F  G
  Then call her angel of the morning, (angel)
C            F         G         F  G      C
