# It isn't an official chord, but I like to play the F in the "silver angels" refrain while continuing to hold the C, so the finger used to play the C chord is held down throughout the F and G7sus4. Feel free to play a straight F if you prefer.

C            F      G7sus4   C
Sweet silver angels over the sea
C                F      G7sus4   C
Please come down flying low for me.

           F         C
One time I trusted a stranger
       F           C
'Cause I heard his sweet song
           Bb
And it was gently enticing me
                 Am
Though there was something wrong
           Fsus4         G7sus4  G7
But when I turned he was gone.

Am           C                  F
Blinding me, his song remains remindin' me
D      C            Bb        F
He's a bandit and a heart breaker.
D       C           F       C
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker.

C            F      G7sus4   C
Sweet silver angels over the sea
C                F      G7sus4   C
Please come down flying low for me.

         F            C
He wages war with the devil
  F         C
A pistol by his side
              Bb
And though he chases him out windows
                     Am
And won't give him a place to hide
             Fsus4     G7sus4  G7
He keeps his door open wide.

Am           C                  F
Fighting him he lights a lamp inviting him.
D      C            Bb        F
He's a bandit and a heart breaker.
D       C           F       C
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker.

C            F      G7sus4   C
Sweet silver angels over the sea
C                F      G7sus4   C
Please come down flying low for me.

         F            C
I heard the thunder come rumbling.
    F           C
The light never looked so dim.
          Bb
I see the junction get nearer
             Am
And danger is in the wind
           Fsus4          Gsus4  G
And either road's looking grim.

Am         C                F
Hiding me, I flee, desire dividing me.
D      C            Bb        F
He's a bandit and a heart breaker.
D       C           Bb      F
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker.
D    C           F       C
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker.

C            F      G7sus4   C
Sweet silver angels over the sea
C                F      G7sus4   C
Please come down flying low for me.


           F         C
One time I trusted a stranger
       F           C
'Cause I heard his sweet song
           Bb
And it was gently enticing me
                 Am
Though there was something wrong
           Fsus4         G7sus4  G7
But when I turned he was gone.


Am           C                F
Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' me
D      C            Bb        F
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
D       C           Bb    F
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
D      C         Bb      F
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
D       C           Bb    F
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
D      C         Bb      F
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
D       C           Bb    F
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
D      C         Bb      F
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
