| Birdland on 53, the street sounds like a symphony |
| We got John Coltrane and a love supreme |
| Miles and she has to be an Angel |
| Lady Day got diamond eyes |
| She sees the truth behind the lies (Angel) |
| Soul love this love won't let me go |
| So long...Angel of Harlem |
| Bridge: |
| Am | G | F | Am | G | F | |
| ooh ooh | ooh | ooh she sings with | hea | rt, heart and | soul |
| Blue light on the avenue |
| God knows they got to you |
| An empty glass, the lady sings |
| Eyes swollen like a bee sting |
| Blinded you lost your way |
| On the side streets and the alleyways |
| Like a star exploding in the night |
| Filling up the city with broad daylight |
| An Angel in Devil's shoes |
| Salvation in the blues |
| You never looked like an Angel |
| So long...Angel of Harlem |
| Angel, Angel of Harlem (4 times and fade) |
