C - G - C C G C F C I took a walk on the highway of life, but I got off to look at the sights F C And where once there had stood a city of good, D G There was only struggle and strife. C G C F C There was treachery everywhere and darkness hung in the air F C And the worst of the thieves, they sang and they preached C G C - F - C And then they all bowed their heads in prayer. Chorus: F C And the angel of the lord, with his bright burning sword, F C 0Better get here before it's too late. F C And if Jesus is coming, he better come quickly, C G C - F - C While there's still those who worry and wait. And the sights and the sounds of sin, and the broken hearts of men. And the whispering and the iniquities are more than a body can stand. (Chorus and repeat last line) ANGEL OF THE LORD Fred Eaglesmith
