  Well, I could have been sick, I could have died

  G                A/G      | D/F# | D |  G       A    D/F# | Bm7 |
I could have given up and not tried    to make it to tomorrow

       Em7            A7
Like a broken-hearted lover

          D     A7      | D | D/F# |
But there was a brand new start,

         A/G   | D/F# | D |  G       A       D/F#
Suddenly I   was taken    to new and faraway places,

Bm7       Em7       | Asus4 | A7 |
  And the music I was singing,

   D     A7      | D  | D/F# |    G         A/G      | D/F# | D |
It was a whole new race      when I woke on that first day

(D)         G       A       D/F# | Bm7 |   Em7             A7
  There was nothing I could say    - I was in the hands of angels

Johnny and the gov'nor came and brought me to my sense

(D)    G       A       | D/F# |
  They made me feel just like a king

Bm7       Em7         | Asus4 | A7 |
  Made me lose all my defence

(A7)       D        A7       D       | D/F# |
  And they knew all places I needed to go,

G          G/B    | D       | D/F# |
All of the people I needed to know

     G          G/B    A7/C#     D          Bm7
They knew who I needed       and who needed me

Em7                                      D/A      A6
And who would come help me and who would just let me be

G/A   D      A7     | D | D/F# | G        A    D/F# | D Em7 D/F# |
I was in the hands of angels   until this very day

  G        A      | D/F# | Bm7 |  
Inside the hands of angels,

Em7         Em7/G   Asus4 | A7 |
  What more can   I say?

(A7)          D      A7     | D | D/F# | G       A      D/F# | D Em7 D/F# |
  When you're in the hands of angels,    life is oh, so sweet

(D/F#)    G        A         D/F#
  And you feel the love down deep inside

Bm7    Em7       Em7/G   | Asus4 | A7 |
  Even out there on    the street
