Capo on 2nd fret

G        G/F#        Em   Em7  C                 G   G/F#
He don't know how to lie         or to undermine you

G        G/F#        Em    Em7  C                   G 
He don't know how to steal,       how to deal or deceive

   G/F#      Em    Em7  C   C/B D
So leave him alone,     set him free

            G                 G/F#   Em  Em7
'Cause he's speaking with the angel

C   C/B  Am7  Am7/G     D            
Speaking with  the   angel...

N.C.      G  G/F#     Em   Em7  C  G  G/F# 
That only he      can see


You say he's so helpless, but what about you
You don't pull the strings, don't you know anything?
Leave him alone, let him be
'Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel that only he can see

C         D               G           
Would you teach him about heaven?

C                  D               G
Would you show him how to love the earth?

          G/F#            Em    Em7          C             D     Dsus4 D   
Would you poison him with prejudice from the moment of his birth?


He, in the name of love, in the blood of the lamb
He that never lays blame, he don't even know his name
So leave him alone, set him free
'Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel

    Am7/G  D                 G   G/F#    Em  Em7  C
The very   one that spoke to you     and me

    D        G      G/F#   Em  Em7  C   D
Oh, do you remember?
