Angels

Angels by Robbie Williams
Tabbed by Gijs van den Broek
This is the only right version!! 
It’s played with a piano and a guitar and another guitar that plays the solo. Here are the two guitar tabs:


Intro:
E	


Verse:
          E                            A         C#m    
I sit and wait. Does an angel contemplate my fate.
B            E                                             A   C#m        
And do they know the places were we go when we’re grey and old.
B               A                              C#m           A
Cuz I have been told that salvation lets their wings unfold.
             D
So when I’m lying in my bed,
         A
Thoughts running through my head,
      E
And I feel that love is dead.
 D         A         E    
I’m loving angels instead.

Chorus:
               B                     C#m
And through it all she offers me protection, 
                  A                              E
A lot love and affection, whether I’m right or wrong.
                   B                    C#m
And down the waterfall wherever it may take me,
                         A
I know that life won’t break me.
               G#m                F#m
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me.
D            A        E
I’m loving angels instead.

Verse:
E                                                A           C#m
When I’m feeling weak and my pain walks down a one way street.
B           E                                 A          C#m
I look above and I know I’ll always be blessed with love.
B  D        
And as the feeling grows 
    A
she breathes flesh to my bones
      E            
And when love is dead, 
D          A          E
I’m loving angels instead.
Solo:

    Bm                A                             E        
e|-------------------------------------------------------
B|--9--7h9------------9--7h9------------9--7h9------0----
G|-----------9-9/11------------9-9/11------------9-------
D|-------------------------------------------------------
A|-------------------------------------------------------
E|-------------------------------------------------------


This solo 4 times. The last note (the 0) can also be played as a B on the D string (a 9) you’ll have to see for yourself what’s best.
You can even play the 11 on the G string as a 7 on the B string. You don’t have to use the slide but it doesn’t sound as good as the slide.

Playing order:

Verse one
Chorus
Verse two (drums enter)
Chorus
Solo 
Chorus

The last note from the verse continues to the chorus until the B comes in. This last chord ( the E) is very nice if you play the lower strings so you get a very heavy sound.
