[Verse 1]
G
Take this man to prison
C/G D/G G
The man heard Herod say
G
And then four squads of soldiers came
C/G D/G G
And carried him a---way
G
Chained up between two watchmen
C/G D/G G
Peter tried to sleep
G
But beyond the walls
C/G D/G G
An endless prayer was lifting for his keep
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C
Then a light cut through the darkness
G
Of a lonely prison cell
C
And the chains that bound the man of God
G
Just opened up and fell
D/F#
And running to his people
C/E
Before the break of day
G
There was only one thing on his mind
C/G D/G G
Only one thing to say
[Chorus 2x]
C Em D/F# G
Angels watching over me
C D/F# G
Every move I make
C Em D/F# G C D G
Angels watching over me
[Verse 2]
G
God only knows the times
C/G D/G G
My life was threatened just today
G
A reckless car ran out of gas
C/G D/G G
Before it ran my way
G
Near misses all around me
C/G D/G G
Accidents un--known
G
Though I never see with human eyes
C/G D/G G
The hands that lead me home
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C
But I know they're all around me
G
All day and through the night
C
When the enemy is closing in
G
I know sometimes they fight
D/F#
To keep my feet from falling
C/E
I'll never turn away
G
If you're asking what's protecting me
C/G D/G G
Then you're gonna hear me say
[Chorus]
C Em D/F# G
Got His Angels watching over me
C D/F# G
Every move I make
C Em D/F# G C D G
Angels watching over me
C Em D/F# G
Angels watching over me
C D/F# G
Every step I make
C Em D/F# G C D G
Angels watching over me
[Interlude]
C Em D/F# G C D G
[Chorus 2x]
C Em D/F# G C D G
Angels watching over me
C Em D/F# G C D G
Angels watching over me
[Próxima Parte]
C Em D/F# G C D G
Angels watching over me
G
Though I never see with human eyes
C/G D/G G
The hands that lead me home
[Outro]
