MY LITTLE ANGEL - William ShakespeareWritten by Harry Vanda and George Young of Easybeats fame. Number one hit inAustralia for William Shakespeare in 1974. The finale of the original singlegoes up one semitone but is difficult to play without a capo - and you have to bequick to put it on! I use the capo, but I have also included the actual chordswithout the capo. Good luck! Also the finale includes the Am7 chord twice. Listento the song and you'll hear what I mean.Video of William Shakespeare singing 'My Little Angel' on 'Countdown' in 1974:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHbU9Qdq-ygRecorded version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j60OTXeNSTcStandard tuningFor G13, C7, G7 and Am7 I play the simple versions, ie :E A D G B EG13 = 0 0 0 0 0 1C7 = 0 3 2 3 1 0G7 = 3 2 0 0 0 1Am7 = 0 0 2 0 1 0The rhythm of the spoken parts and outro (C/Am/Dm/G13 sequence) goes like this:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8D - - U D U D - D - - U D U D -C Am Dm G13(intro + spoken)C Am Dm G13C Am Dm G13it was on aC Am Dm G13cold December after-noonC Am Dm G13doesn't seem that long ago I wasC Am Dm G13sitting, warming my feet by myC Am Dm G13ole' fire placeC Am Dm G13when in walked my little girl home from schoolC Am Dm G13and I could see that something was wrongC Am Dm G13by the tears that were rolling downC Am Dm (stop) -her face and she said(singing)E7 Am E7 Amdaddy, daddy at school today somebody told me a lieE7 Am D Gand after hearing what she had heard I told her not to cry ItF G C C7 F G G7hurt to see her cry because she's my, my little angelEm Am Am7 Dm Gmy little angel my little angel, when sheC C7 F G G7smi---- les oh yes she's my, my little angelEm Am Dm Gmy little angel and I don't ever want to see herF Fcry -( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/william_shakespeare/my_little_angel_crd.html )(spoken)C Am Dm G13what she heard was that angels didn'tC Am Dm G13really exist that they were just a part ofC Am Dm G13fables fairy tales, any oldC Am Dm G13howC Am Dm G13of course there are angels I said everybody has anC Am Dm G13angel that takes care of them in factC Am Dm G13I know where there's a real live angelC Am Dm (stop) -right now and she said(singing)E7 Am E7 Amdaddy, daddy please tell me where and tell me how do you kn-ow?E7 Am D Gand I said easy if you listen close it's not too far to g-o andF G C C7 F G G7this is how I know because your my, my little angelEm Am Am7 Dm Gmy little angel my little angel, when youC C7 F G G7smi----le oh yes your my, my little angelEm Am Dm Gmy little angel and I don't ever want to see youE7 E7cry Now IF Em F Emmiss her dearly since she left that day But IF Em Dm (Dm)know she is near me every hour every(finale) ***Capo at 1 for rest of the songG - C7day because she's, because she'sF G G7 Em Am Am7my, my little angel my little angelDm G C C7my little angel, yes she's mi--- ne oh yes soF G G7 Em Am Am7fine my little angel my little angel and IDm G C Am Dm G13know that she's with me all the time with me all theC Am Dm G13 C Am Dm G13time my little angel my littleC Am Dm G13 C Am Dm G13angel my my little angel my littleC Am Dm G13 C Am Dm G13angel my little angel (fade)(finale) *** Actual chords for recorded version, no capoG - Db7day because she's, because she'sF# Ab Ab7 Fm Bbm Bbm7my, my little angel my little angelEbm Ab Db Db7my little angel, yes she's mi--- ne oh yes soF# Ab Ab7 Fm Bbm Bbm7fine my little angel my little angel And IEbm Ab Db Bbm Ebm Ab13know that she's with me all the time with me all theDb Bbm Ebm Ab13 Db Bbm Ebm Ab13time my little angel my littleDb Bbm Ebm Ab13 Db Bbm Ebm Ab13angel my my little angel my littleDb Bbm Ebm Ab13 Db Bbm Ebm Ab13angel my little angel (fade)
