Mrs Adlam's Angels
Transcribed J.Shortman
[Intro]
A/E B/E Dmaj7 F#m
[Verse 1]
A/E B/E Dmaj7 F#m
Sundays, as a rule, us kids went to Sunday School,
A/E B/E Dmaj7 F#m
And Mrs Adlam said, angles stood round our bed.
A F#m Bm E
To keep us safe from dark, right through till day begun,
A F#m Bm E
And we used to lie awake, just to ty and see one,
Bm D A F#m
And though we never saw one, anywhere...
Bm D A
We heard them softly singing, in the air.
[Verse 2]
A/E B/E Dmaj7 F#m
Sundays, occasionally, we were invited back for tea,
A/E B/E Dmaj7 F#m
And bread with jam and cream, made Sundays seem a dream.
A F#m Bm E
In the dingy mission hall, Mrs Adlam praying.
A F#m Bm E
And down the street back home, all our mates were playing,
Bm D A F#m
With Mr's Adlam's angels everywhere...
Bm D A
And we thought we saw a halo, in her hair.
[Verse 3]
A/E B/E Dmaj7 F#m
Sundays, for sure, ain't like that any more,
A/E B/E Dmaj7 F#m
It's getting hard for me, to see her face in front of me.
A F#m Bm E
I wonder if her angels, have their arms around her curled.
A F#m Bm E
Keeping her safe from life, and guarding her from the world.
Bm D A F#m
On a summer Sunday evening, do I dare...
Bm D A
To hear Mrs Adlam's angels, in the air.
[Outro]
A G# A
