Subject: Chords: Angel Of Mercy by Dire Straits

Angel of Mercy, written by Mark Knopfler, performed by Dire Straits
The song can be found on the album "Communiqué"
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

Oh angel of mercy, angel delight
