G                   D
Oh I should have seen it coming
        A                 Em
Guess I should have stayed awake
       C                G
Always some damned fool mistake
         A               Bm
Keeps me falling in this place
          G                   D
Change is sometimes for the better
     A                Em
If a man can keep his head
        C                      G
Well at least that's what I've read
      A                   Bm G
Can't believe all that is said

[Chorus]
       G        D
Oh you angel of mercy
          G            A
Won't you have me as a friend
       Em              G
I have nothing but the end
          C  G
Inside of me
        G              D
Take me high above the canyons
            G                  A
Through the midnight blues and grays
        Em               G
Lead me from the devil's ways
       C   G
Fly me free
       D G x4
Fly me free

[Verse 2]
          G                  D
Where the midnight smells of whiskey
        A                 Em
And the morning's soaked in gin
          C            G
There's a new day that begins
      A              Bm
If we turn our faith within
         G                D
And I've tried to love my brother
       A                  Em
But my heart has lost its way
         C                G
And I've never learned to pray
      A           Bm   G
Never tried until today

[Chorus]
       G        D
Oh you angel of mercy
          G            A
Won't you have me as a friend
       Em              G
I have nothing but the end
          C  G
Inside of me
        G              D
Take me high above the canyons
            G                  A
Through the midnight blues and grays
        Em               G
Lead me from the devil's ways
       C   G
Fly me free
       D G x4
Fly me free

[Solo] 
      G        D

       A        Em
      C        G
       A        Bm  G

[Chorus]
       G        D
Oh you angel of mercy
          G            A
Won't you have me as a friend
       Em              G
I have nothing but the end
          C  G
Inside of me
        G              D
Take me high above the canyons
            G                  A
Through the midnight blues and grays
        Em               G
Lead me from the devil's ways
       C   G
Fly me free
       D G x4
Fly me free
