Field Where the Angels Dance

 

Written by John Stewart

 

‘Field Where the Angels Dance’ is on “Johnny Moonlight”, Neon Dreams, 2000, same song on “Buster”, Neon Dreams, 2000 and there´s a live version on the double CD “Front Row Music - Before the War”, Neon Dreams, 2001. 

Fine song, sounds good no matter how you play it, strummed or picked!  Not that difficult to play.  I hear parts of it surfaced in an earlier version of ‘The Queen of Hollywood High’, a long time ago.  A goodly number of religious references – I had to google one or two.

 

 

Capo 5th fret

 

(Am) (F) (Am) (F) (Am) (F) (Am) (F)

It's there in the (Am)light of the long forgotten,

Running (F)deep in the Milky Way,

It's in the (Am)night of the prayer wheels turning

In the (G)dawning of the day.

 

It's in the (Am)names of the Christian martyrs

And the(F)blood of the Jesus chain,

It's in the(Am)flames of the fire starters

And the (G)cave where the Crow man paints.

(Am) (F) (Am) (F)

 

It's revealed in the (Am)codes in the tombs of Cairo,

Shining she (F)rode through the crimson rain.

I'll see you a(Am)gain in the grand reunion

And the (G)prayers of the Mary chain.

 

It's in the (Am)faith of young Saint Sebastian,

He never(F)cracked when the arrows flew.

It's in the (Am)face in the Shroud of Turin

And the(G)miracle of Guadalupe.

 

It's in the (F)field where the (G)angels (C)dance(Am)

to the (F)rhythm of the (G)hearts, (C)waiting for a (Am)chance,

In the(F)field where the(G)angels (C)dance,(Am)

In the (F)field where the (G)angels (Am)dance. (F)

(Am) (F) (Am) (F) (Am)

 

And I'll take you away to the(Em)grand ballet,

To the (F)great holi(G)day in the (C)field.

(F)Was this all a dream

Just a (Em)moment in the stream

And (G)what will we find in the field?

 

In the (F)field where the (G)angels (C)dance(Am)

to the (F)rhythm of their (G)hearts, (C)waiting for a (Am)chance,

In the(F)field where the(G)angels (C)dance, (Am)

In the (F)field where the (G)angels (C)dance.

 

It's in the (F)field where the (G)angels (C)dance(Am)

to the (F)rhythm of the (G)hearts, (C)waiting for a (Am)chance,

In the(F)field where the(G)angels (C)dance,(Am)

In the (F)field where the (G)angels (Am)dance.

(F) (Am) (F) (Am) (F) (Am) (G)

 

In the (F)field where the (G)angels (C)dance(Am)

To the (F)rhythm of the (G)hearts who are (C)waiting for a (Am)chance,

In the(F)field where the(G)angels (C)dance.(Am)

In the (F)field where the (G)angels (Am)dance

to the (F)rhythm of the (G)hearts, (C)waiting for a (Am)chance,

In the(F)field where the(G)angels (C)dance,(Am)

In the (F)field where the (G)angels (Am)dance.

(F) (Am) (F) (Am) (F) (Am) (F) (Am)
