Past the ivy-covered windows of

The Angel
LAm REm SOL (G )
Down Athenaeum Lane to the cathedral
LAm (G )
Through the churchyard I wandered
LAm REm SOL
Sat for a spell there and I pondered
FA SOL
My back to the gates
FA SOL
My back to the gates
FA SOL DO (G ) LAm
My back to the gates of the garden
LAm
Fugitive fathers, sickly infants, decent mothers
REm SOL
Runaways and suicidal lovers
LAm (G )
Assorted boxes of ordinary bones
LAm REm SOL
Of aborted plans and sudden shattered hopes
FA SOL
In unlucky rows
FA SOL
ln unhappy rows
FA SOL DO FA SOL
In unlucky rows, up to the gates of the garden
DO SOL
Won't you meet me at the gates
DO SOL
Won't you meet me at the gates
DO SOL
Won't you meet me at the gates
DO
To the garden
Beneath the creeping shadow of the tower
The bell from St. Edmunds informs me of the hour
I turn to find you waiting there for me
In sunlight and I see the way that you breathe
Allve and leaning
Allve and leaning
Allve and leaning on the gates of the garden
Leave these ancient places to the angels
Let the saints attend to their keeping of the cathedrals
And leave the dead beneath the ground so cold
For God is in this hand that I hold
As we open up the gates of the garden
Won't you meet me at the gates
Won't you meet me at the gates
Won't you meet me at the gates
To the garden
