Angel of Mercy, written by Mark Knopfler, performed by Dire Straits

The song can be found on the album "Communiqu?"

I think that this is a really great song, but it's not one of their

most famous hits. Anyway, hope this helps.

Verse 1

-------

E D C

Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight

E D C

I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight

E C C

Now I want my reward, in heaven tonight

D

Just like you promised

E D C

Angel of mercy, you'll come to no harm

E D C

Angel of mercy, there's no need for alarm

E D C

The knight in his armour, wants a night in your arms

D

You know he's honest

Angel of mercy, angel delight

Give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword won't you give me the right

Sweet angel

Verse 2

-------

E D C

Well now it's too late for talking we can talk later on

E D C

Let the saxophone play us 'til the chorus of dawn

E D C

All I need is a little oblivion

D

And you don't need protection

E D C

Well now here come the moonlight, down on your bed

E D C

Angel of mercy let your heart rule your head

E D C

I don't want your money, I want you instead

D

Don't need rejection, yeah
