Sam Fender - Angel In Lothian

[Intro]
Fadd9 Am7 C G
Dm Am7 C G

[Verse 1]
Fadd9 Am7
When an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
C G Dm
I was only a child but I trust my eyes
Am7 C
She burnt up like a comet before me
G
Before I could even say “Hi”
Fadd9 Am7
Saw kingdoms come and go in Bernicia
C G Dm
With a space station rattling above my head
Am7
And I saw the dead
C G
I saw the dead

[Verse 2]
Fadd9 Am7
Back then, yeah, the door was always open
C G Dm
I’d come and go, back and forth, anytime I need
Am7 C
But I’m needing it more now than ever
G
‘Cause I’m fading away
Fadd9 Am7
And I claw at the door every bad night
C G Dm
But somehow it’s blocked from thе other side
Am7 C
I claw ’til my skin comes apart
G
Until I feel something

[Harmonica Interlude]
Fadd9 Am7 C G Dm Am7 C G
Fadd9 Am7 C G Dm Am7 C G

[Verse 3]
Fadd9 Am7
And I remember that pain in my mother
C G Dm
Being helpless and feckless and far too young
Am7
My brother was spiraling down
C G
He said “Kid it’s not me, it’s this town”
Fadd9 Am7
So I rail against that feeling when it comes
C G Dm
I no longer have solitude behind that door
Am7 C
And I know drugs that can hold it
G
You gotta hold it yourself

[Verse 4]
Fadd9 Am7
I wish an angel fell somewhere in Lothian
C G Dm
She could’ve fixed all the problems that I cannot fix
Am7
But one day I might have kids myself
C G
And hope that I don’t fuck them up myself

Hey!
