Irish Angel Chords

(ver. 1)
Jonny Lang
[Intro]
G Em C G G D/F# Em Em C G
 
 
[Verse]
G                  Em        C               G
In the fall of the year, she flew across the ocean
G               Em          C        D
To Ireland, the land of her fathers
G            Em         C               G
When we said goodbye, a tear was in her eye
G                  Em              C     G
I lost her then and there, my Irish angel
 
 
[Verse]
G               Em         C                 G
The first letter came, she said she loved it there
G.              Em                  C         D
And how much she wished I was there with her
G                 Em         C            G
She wrote it on a hill, in a gentle Irish rain
G               Em             C     G
I saw her in my mind, my Irish angel
 
 
[Chorus]
C                    D          G             C
I wrote her back and then there was no second letter
C                       G                     D
Just the silence of the snow that fell around me
G                 Em        C             G
I let her down, I know, the day I let her go
G                      Em            C     G
Now she's found someone else my Irish Angel
 
 
[Verse]
G                Em          C               G
The first time I saw her, my heart went in a spin
G                  Em                C       D
When they speak of love they call it fallin
G                     Em                C           G
It was like I held my breath, 'til laid eyes on her again
G              Em               C     G
Too beautiful, she was my Irish angel
 
 
[Chorus]
C                  D       G                 C
And when I stole a glance, then too a stolen kiss
C                    G                 D
I thought I knew the chance that I was takin'
G                  Em     C                 G
And though I never knew a love as strong as this
G                Em                 C          G
Or what it was to feel my own heart breaking
 
 
[Chorus]
C                D         G            C
So now I raise a glass and then I raise another
C      G              D
One to forget, one to remember
G               Em           C                 G
And one just to dream of how things could have been
G           Em            C     G
If I hadn't lost my Irish angel
 
 
[Outro]
G Em C G G D/F# Em Em C G
