      C
They say that there’s a heaven
      F
Where all good people go
    C
And all the angels live there.
   G
At least that’s what I’m told.
  C
I know I should believe it
            F
Because the Good Book never lies.
               C
But there’s an angel in the hills of Tennessee
         G                    C
And I’ve seen her with my own eyes.

CHORUS:
            G
How did you know
       F        C
That I needed a friend?
        G
I never dreamed
         F               C
That the minute I walked in
   Am
My life would be changed
       C          G      F
And my soul would be set free.
           C        F
There’s an angel in Knoxville
              C
Watching over me.

   C
An empty room on a Thursday night;
       F
I just wanted a drink or two.
         C
Then she came and sat beside me;
  G
A table with a view.
C
And I could not believe it
     F
When she got up to dance
           C
‘Cause she spread her angel wings out
      G                   C
And I thought she’d never land.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
        G
And she flys
   C
So high.
   F             G
My angel flys so high!

     C
So I suppose that there’s a heaven
      F
Where everything’s made of gold.
C
Maybe someday I’ll see it
G
When I get too old.
C
And all the angels will open their arms
    F
And wings to welcome me.
  C                      F
Except for the one still here on Earth
G               C
Flying in Tennessee.

REPEAT CHORUS
