Subject: Chords: Angel Of Mercy by Dire Straits
Angel of Mercy, written by Mark Knopfler, performed by Dire Straits
The song can be found on the album "Communiqu?"
I think that this is a really great song, but it's not one of their
most famous hits. Anyway, hope this helps.
Verse 1
-------
E D C
Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight
E D C
I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight
E C C
Now I want my reward, in heaven tonight
D
Just like you promised
E D C
Angel of mercy, you'll come to no harm
E D C
Angel of mercy, there's no need for alarm
E D C
The knight in his armour, wants a night in your arms
D
You know he's honest
Chorus
------
C G
Angel of mercy, angel delight
D G
Give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword won't you give me the right

Sweet angel
