Dark Angel - Blue Rodeo
----------
Words and Music by: Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy
>From the CD: Five Days in July
Transcribed By: drake@sgl.ists.ca (Drake Hirasawa)

Key: Bb
Note:  I think this song sounds better on piano, like on the
       album, than on guitar.  For easier playing on guitar,
       you could capo on the 3rd fret, and play in G relative
       to the capo position.  In that case the chords would be
       G Am C D Dsus4 D/B and Em instead of 
       Bb Dm Eb F Fsus4 F/D and Gm respectively.

Intro:
Bb  F/D  Eb  F,  Bb  F/D  Eb  F Fsus4 F


Verse:
           Bb   Dm            Eb                Bb
I met this girl,  she walking through one of my dreams
Bb               Dm       Eb   Bb
   She kissed my eyes and everything 
         F/D       Eb      Bb
that she said made so much sense
   F/D        Eb    Ebsus2    Bb  Gm   F      Fsus4  F
to me, that I still feel like I'm half asleep

My dark angel, she gave me diamonds for eyes
She walked by, now I'm hypnotized
By this dream that just won't stop
And I feel lke I've always been lost in this dream

Rumours of heaven only speed the truth on earth
My dark angel shine your lght on my curse
You are the other that I have to find
Until I do, guess I'll see you around in my mind

So Colorado is the place I have to go
I heard a rumour she loves the mountains and the snow
Well my dark angel, she gave me diamonds for eyes
My dark angel, I offer you my heart
My dark angel, think I loved you from the start

Cause there's this face that I know that I've never seen
Sometimes I feel I'm living in someone else's dream
Still I thank you for stopping to talk 
And I wonder, just into who's dream did who walk.

Bb Dm      Eb  Bb
Oh my dark angel
Bb         Dm  Eb     Eb 
Shine your light on me
Bb         Eb  Bb            Eb Bb 
Shine your light, Shine your light
           F     Fsus4 F
Shine your light 
   Eb     Bb
On me, on me.
