Angel Tab

                 Angel - Dave Matthews Band
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Tune down 1/2 step (, , , , , )

I love this song, the band itself. I thought I'd try tabbing this. Another thing,
Dave uses different picking, he doesn't just do a plain chord, so it will sound
different.

Intro:
------------------------------------------
      

Verse:
------------------------------------------

     I call you up

     You pick up

     You call my bluff

     On the cards of love

     You hold to close

     Your hands to your chest

     I can't read you eyes

     But I confess

     It's lonely far

     From you

     Even when you're right by me

     It's only why

     I wait for you
                      
     To take my ha - nd

Chorus:
------------------------------------------
                                   
     Why do I beg like a child for you can - dy?
                                      
     Why do I come after you like I do? I love  you
         /
     Whate'er you are
            /       /   
     I swear, you'll be my an - gel, you

Verse:
------------------------------------------

     I play my cards

     Best I can
     
     But I lose my luck

     When you're not here

     My darling heart

     Won't you please give in?

     I may be strong

     But I want you back again

     When you're not here

     Oh, it's hard to pretend

     It's all alright....again

     When you're not here

     Love, it's hard to pretend
                        
     It's all alright.....still

~Back To Chorus~

Verse:
------------------------------------------

     Watch the deck

     And count your cards

     Makes no sense

     That I'm always losing

     .....

     When you're gone

     .....

     .....

~Back To Chorus~

Outro:
------------------------------------------

     .....

     When you're gone

     .....

     .....



THERE IT IS! Remember you must tune down a half step for this version to work!
(There might be a version where you don't have to but this is just easier and
