Angel of Mercy, written by Mark Knopfler, performed by Dire Straits

The song can be found on the album "Communiqu?"

I think that this is a really great song, but it's not one of their

most famous hits. Anyway, hope this helps.



Verse 1

-------

               E         D     C

Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight

          E         D             C

I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight

      E          C       C

Now I want my reward, in heaven tonight

              D

Just like you promised

E           D          C

Angel of mercy, you'll come to no harm

E          D               C

Angel of mercy, there's no need for alarm

    E              D              C

The knight in his armour, wants a night in your arms

              D

You know he's honest



Chorus

------

 C               G

Angel of mercy, angel delight

D                    G

Give me my reward in heaven tonight

         C                          G

And if I give up my sword won't you give me the right

       D

Sweet angel



Verse 2

-------

              E            D              C

Well now it's too late for talking we can talk later on

        E         D                C

Let the saxophone play us 'til the chorus of dawn

      E         D         C

All I need is a little oblivion

                      D

And you don't need protection

         E             D          C

Well now here come the moonlight, down on your bed

E        D              C

Angel of mercy let your heart rule your head

  E               D        C

I don't want your money, I want you instead

             D

Don't need rejection, yeah



Chorus

------

     C               G

Oh angel of mercy, angel delight

D                    G

Give me my reward in heaven tonight

         C                          G

And if I give up my sword won't you give me the right

  D                    G

Angel of mercy give me heaven tonight



Bridge

------

            D

Well if you cross your heart and spit

                                 G

And swear upon the grave of your mother

          D

You gotta, get into it

                                    C          D

Gotta tell her that I'm more than a lover
