Angel Of The Morning

D                Em7                 A7
There'll be no strings to bind your hands,
           G          A9         D    Em7    F#m7   G    A9
Not if my love can't bind your heart.
D               Em7            A7
And there's no need to take a stand,
           G      A9       D     Em7    F#m7   G    A9
For it was I who chose to start.
Em7                        A7    A7sus4   A7
I see no need to take me home;
Em7                         A7
I'm old enough to face the dawn.

Refrain:
D             Bm7         A7       G     A7
Just call me angel of the morning, An - gel,
D             Bm7              A7        G    A7
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, ba - by.
D            Bm7          A7       G    A7
Just call me angel of the morning, An - gel,
G     G/F#   Em       G/B     D  Em7  F#m7  G  A9    D  Em7  A7   G    A9
Then slowly turn away    from me.

D          Em7                A7
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
             G      A9        D    Em7   F#m7   G    A9
And it won't matter an - y - how.
D             Em7             A7
If morning's echo says we've sinned...
              G     A9      D    Em7  F#m7   G    A9
Well, it was what I wanted now.
Em7                              A7   Em7                     A7
And if we're the victims of the night, I won't be blinded by light.
