Buffy Sainte-Marie - Angel Chords

ok, doesn't anyone remember buffy sainte-marie? she actually wrote a bunch of mainstream songs
("until it's time for you to go", "up where we belong",
yet so many people have NEVER heard of her!!
her writing is amazing.
 i have a songbook of hers ,which is 30 years old,
and has an extensive collection of her songs, yet "the angel" is not in it.
 really a beatiful song, and i couldn't find the lyrics online anywhere,
 and they weren't included on her "best of" cd's , either.
 so i had to listen, and type, and listen, and type...
 and i'm pretty sure these chords are right.
 cheers.

G             Em
come now, and now my love,
Am               C          G            Em
 and leave your dying desert to the rains
G            Em
give up your treasured wounds,
Am            C            G           Em
let go the tempting memory of the pain.
C            D
give up the vows you've taken
G             Em                  C       Am    G
 and you will live, and you will learn to fly away,
              D
 and you will fly.

G             Em
and you will live my love
Am               C          G            Em
 and see the stars regain your starless night
G             Em
and you will find your sun
Am               C          G            Em
 and learn the magic meaning of it's light
 C                D
all souls will be yours to cherish
G       Em                  C       Am    G
rising, falling, in their earthly flight
              D
 and you will fly

G             Em
and i would love my love
Am               C          G            Em
 and he would seek a refuge in my eyes
G             Em
but no resource of love,
Am               C          G             Em
could keep him from the fire where loving dies
 C                         D
 and i would reach out my hand as he was
G         Em            C       Am    G
 falling, falling to his home on high
              D
and he would fly

G  Em  Am  C  G  Em

G             Em
give up your treasured wounds,
Am               C          G         Em
let go the tempting memory of the pain
 C            D
give up the vows you've taken
G             Em                  C       Am    G
 and you will live, and you will learn to fly again,
              D
 and you will fly.
