It's a cool song, and pretty easy to play. As close to 100% s possible, except for a
arpeggio that might be wrong.

Angel won't you set me free.
Go back to Verse Riff (Gtr. 1 and 2 at the same time)
Pre-chorus (it changes a bit, now you have both guitars playing)
Gtr.1 (plays the same thing as in the first pre-chorus)
|-----3-----------2----------------------3--------2-----|
|-----3-----------3----------------------3--------3-----|
|-----4-----------4----------------------4--------4-----|
|-----5-----------4----------------------5--------4-----|

Gtr.2 (do an arpeggio with the same chords as guitar one. These are just guidelines, I'm
entirely sure they're right.)

After it says, "Angel Shine your light on me," go back to verse, but this time, the
guitar will play on an electric guitar. The riff changes a bit into a solo.
Gtr.2 Verse 3 (w/ distortion)

After, it changes into like a bridge. Only gtr.1 on this part
Gtr.1
Oh angel we will meet once more I'll pray
|-3---------------2----------------------------------|
|-3---------------2----------------------------------|
|-0---------------3----------------------------------|
|-0---------------4----------------------------------|

When all my sins are washed away

Gtr.1 changes to electric when it says "away." Gtr.2 stays silent until halfway through the outro.
Oh, Angel take me far away
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------9---------------------------|
|------------------------9---------------------------|
|------------------------7---------------------------|
Put sad wings around me now
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-9-----5-----7-------------9------------------------|
|-9-----5-----7-------------9------------------------|
|-7-----3-----5-------------7------------------------|
Angel take me far away (do a little plam mute on these chords)
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-5-------------7--------9---------------------------|
|-5-------------7--------9---------------------------|
|-3-------------5--------7---------------------------|
Put sad wings around me now

|-----5--------7---------9---------------------------|
|---5---5----7---7-------9---------------------------|
|-3--------5-------------7---------------------------|
So that we can rise again
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-9-------------5-------7------9---------------------|
|-9-------------5-------7------9---------------------|
|-7-------------3-------5------7---------------------|
Gtr.2 plays this (goes along with the lyrics)
So that we can rise again
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-------------7--------------------------------------|
|--7--9----10-----9---10-7---------------------------|
Gtr.1 keeps playing the same thing throughout the outro, but now gtr.2 plays this along with the lyrics
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--12---14b14b---16b16b----12------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
End the song like this
