Caveat emptor - since this is from memory.
I don't guarantee that these are the exact same chords that
Hendrix played, but it should give the basic structure.
I'm using mxrn here which, on including the plain text file,
has mangled the relationship of the words to the chords (so
much for the benefits of proportional fonts!). I'll leave the entry as it is,
though, on the basis that it can still be accessed as plain text.
IMHO its a beautiful song. Have fun with it...........

Playing Guide:
--------------
The Db-Eb-E-F chords in the Db-Bb-Eb-E-F sequence can be a bit tricky
if you finger the 2nd, 3rd, 4th strings with separate fingers. One
trick is to play this shape using just the 1st and 3rd fingers of
the left hand. This way you can get the chord onto the fingerboard
a lot quicker, although you tend to lose the notes on the top two
strings because you can't usually bend the 3rd finger back far enough.

Lyrics:
Angel came down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said I'll come back again to see you tommorow
Fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel
Tommorow im going be by your side

(title: Angel)
(composer: Jimi Hendrix)
Angel came down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me just long enough
to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon
and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said, I'll come back to see you tomorrow
And I said...
Fly on my sweet Angel
Fly on though the sky
Fly on my sweet Angel
Tomorrow I'm gonna be
by your side.
Sure enough this woman came
home to me
Silver wings silhouetted against
a child's sunrise
And my Angel she said unto me
Today is the day for you to rise.
Take my hand
You're gonna be my man
You're gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder
And I said..
Fly on my sweet Angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet Angel
Forever I'm gonna be by your side.
( I was a bit frustrated to find only the first verse submitted, so
please accept the entire text, complete with the intended salvation.)
