D A D A G A D G D A D
 
              D                         A
Yeah I said "Momma he's crazy and he scares me
       D                A
But I want him by my side
              G            A       D                    G
Though he's wild and he's bad and sometimes just plain mad
    D           A            D
I need him to keep me satisfied"
 
I said "Papa don't cry cause it's alright
And I see you in some of his ways
Though he might not give me the love that you wanted
I'll love him the rest of my days"
 
 G                       A
Misguided angel hangin over me
 G                                A        D
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
 G            A                   D                 G
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
 D         A               D
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead
 
I said "Brother speak to me of passion
You said never to settle for nothin less
Well it's in the way he walks, it's in the way he talks
His smile, his anger, and his kisses"
Yeah I said "Sister don't you understand?
He's all I ever wanted in a man
I'm tired of sittin round the t.v. every night
Hoping I'm finding a Mister Right"
 
Misguided angel hangin over me
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece a lead
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead
 
          D                    A
He says "Baby don't listen to what they say
         G               A               D
There comes a time when you'll have to break away"
          G                A            D               G
He says "Baby there are things we all cling to all our lives
      D                A        D
It's time to let them go and become my wife"
 
   D                    A
Misguided angel hangin over me
  D                              A
Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory
  G               A               D                  G
Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead
 (a capella)
Misguided angel, love you till I'm dead

Ummm...  This is really the first time I've ever done this,
and all the other standard disclaimers.  Oh yeah, also, the
lyrics are downloaded from cs.uwp.edu, so I take no credit for
those.  Otherwise, enjoy!

Thanks for the tab. However, what jteethy pointed out is correct: the last chorus should be what jteethy said.
