Angel Of Mercy Tab

by Dire Straits




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
-------
                             
Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight
                                
I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight
                       
Now I want my reward, in heaven tonight
              
Just like you promised
                     
Angel of mercy, you'll come to no harm
                         
Angel of mercy, there's no need for alarm
                                
The knight in his armour, wants a night in your arms
              
You know he's honest

Chorus
------
                
Angel of mercy, angel delight
                    
Give me my reward in heaven tonight
                                   
And if I give up my sword won't you give me the right
       
Sweet angel

Verse 2
-------
                                        
Well now it's too late for talking we can talk later on
                                 
Let the saxophone play us 'til the chorus of dawn
                        
All I need is a little oblivion
                      
And you don't need protection
                                
Well now here come the moonlight, down on your bed
                      
Angel of mercy let your heart rule your head
                         
I don't want your money, I want you instead
             
Don't need rejection, yeah

Chorus
------
                    
Oh angel of mercy, angel delight
                    
Give me my reward in heaven tonight
                                   
And if I give up my sword won't you give me the right
                      
Angel of mercy give me heaven tonight

Bridge
------
            
Well if you cross your heart and spit
                                 
And swear upon the grave of your mother
          
You gotta, get into it
                                              
Gotta tell her that I'm more than a lover

Give me my reward in heaven tonight
                                   
And if I give up my sword won't you give me the right
                      
Angel of mercy give me heaven tonight
                   
Oh angel of mercy angel delight
