Lyrics
AA 08 Autumn Angels (maybe capot 2, up to D?) C F C F C Autumn Angels in the sunlight FC G C G Casting their gaze o’re a century’s history C F C F C Autumn Angels strong and forthright FC G C G Stating their case for certainty AmD Am G Standing full square on a wing and a prayer Autumn Angels fixed unmoving Take the role of sentinels Autumn Angels faith approving Grief allays and doubt dispels Standing there to counteract despair EmD A Just because their thoughts don’t tally with mine EmD A Doesn’t stop me wanting to spend some time Em A Am G Reveling in the autumn colours sublime Autumn Angels for protection? Keeping faith or keeping score Autumn Angels beg the question Who are our prayers really for It’s our hopes and our fears that keep us here
