Intro:
C Dm Bb F C

[Verse 1]
       C                          
Flyin’ east with the night on our 
Dm
heels
          G                        
Cheat the time and the distance and
     C
 the light
That sky ain’t my friend, but I’ll 
Dm
see her again
            Bb                 
She’s gonna hold me in her arms 
   G
tonight

[Chorus]
G              C       Dm
Send me down a tin can angel
         G               C
Will she rock me on the wind?
                     Dm
Gonna need a tin can angel
               G              
‘Cause I’ll be sleepin’ in the

I want your wings to carry me onward
         G                C
And your halo to light my way
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
And your call to the maker, the 
Dm
giver, the taker
    Bb                         
A petition for the words that I 
 G
prayed

[Chorus]
               C       Dm
Send me down a tin can angel
         G              C
Will she rock me on the wind?
                     Dm
Gonna need a tin can angel
               G              
‘Cause I’ll be sleepin’ in the 
         C    C
clouds again

You know where the sparrow is 
 F
falling
   C
My fear can fly no place but high

So reserve for the road-weary

servent a helper
