[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [B] We stayed at the bar room till closing _ _ [E] I held down a place at [B] his side
_ _ And drank to the memory that crushed him _ _ _ [C#] A lady who loved [F#] him and died
_ _ _ [B] _
Surely could not find a reason _ to _ [E] get it back up [B] and go on
_ _ _ [E] Then out of the dark [B] came a stranger _ and [F#] turned us around with [B] a song
He _ _ _ _ _ _ said, I know the pain that you're feeling _ I _ [E] _
had a sweet [B] little girl
_ _ _ And I loved her more than her mother _ or _ [C#] _
anything else in [F#] the world
_ _ [B] And sure as I loved her, I lost her _ _ _ [E] Sure as I wanted [B] to die
_ _ _ [E] Then I had a [B] dream or a vision, _ _ _ [F#] a wonder that opened [B] my eyes _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] I dreamed of a young band of angels _ [A] that shone like the stars [E] from above
_ _ _ But each held a bright burning _ candle _ except [F#] _
for the angel [B] I loved
_ And [E] I asked why their candles were burning _ _ [A] and why that hers wasn't [E] the same
_ She [A] said, oh daddy, each [E] time that I try to light it [B] Your tears just keep drowning [E] the flame _ _ _ _ _

_ [E] _ _ [B] We stared at the stranger in silence _ _ [E] His spirit was truly _ [B] alive
_ _ _ _ If life had made his eyes glisten _ _ [C#] The diamond was bright in [F#] his eye
_ _ _ [B] Cause everyone who ever loved him _ _ [E] No fortune had torn them [B] apart
_ _ _ [E] They'll live in the hall [B] of the angels _ As [F#]
long as the love [B] in his heart
_ _ Oh [E] they'll live in the hall [B] of the angels _ _ [F#] As long as the love in [B] your heart _ _ _ _ _
