This song is a lot of fun once you get the rhythm thing going.  Listen
to the cd and you'll get the hang of it.  

D       C      G                     D
Sometimes the most beautiful things
C          G             D    C
the most innocent things
     G                   C         D
and many of those dreams, pass us by
                                C   D
keep passin me by...

chorus:
C               D       G
You feel good
                        C                       D               G
I say, it's funny that you understood
C                               D    G
(I knew you would)
                          C                    
D                                       C   D   
cause when you were good (baby) mmmmm you were very good

                C
So I close my eyes softly
                D
till I become that part of the wind
                        C                               D
that we all long for sometimes, yeah
                C
and to those that I look like a ghost thru the fog
                D
like a charmed hour and a haunted song
                C                       D         C                    
D
and the angel of my dreams...angel of my dreams

he says....(chorus)

                        C                                 D
Now I still look up when you walk into the room
                        C                                              
D
I've the same wide eyes...now they tell stories
                        C
I try not to reach out
                                D
but when you turn around you say "hello"
                        C                                        D
and we both pretend .... there was no ending

Fleetwood Mac - Angel - Stevie Nicks
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk Documentary

Fleetwood Mac - Angel Live 1979 Tusk tour with Lyrics
This is a different version than the one that you see in the Tusk documentary. Enjoy! There are many interpretations of Angel, an upbeat, yet haunting song. A popular theory is that Lindsey was Stevie's Angel. They both use the word in their songs. Perhaps Lindsey's "Goodbye Angel" is somehow related to this song....he's saying goodbye to his relationship with Stevie. They often answer each other in songs. "Goodbye Angel" was from the Mirage outtakes so it was written a few years after "Angel" was written. One reason to think that the Angel is Lindsey is from watching the Tusk documentary when Lindsey and Stevie are practicing the song together and she sings "you feel good, it's funny that you understood, when you were good, you were very good" at this last line, their eyes lock and they smile. They both know. Stevie talks about that "Angel" moment in the Tusk documentary in an interview. She said that part was so personal because she and Lindsey are looking at each other. She said there's this 'thing' that goes on between us. It always has and probably always will. She said it was scary watching that because you could see everything that went down between them in the last 10 years. This interview was from 1981. Most know of Stevie's predilection for using the word "angel" in her songs. One of the ways she uses it is as a term of endearment. (Lindsey uses it in this way, as well.) We can only speculate as to whether or not they used to call each other "angel." In that, this song is like a sweet, wistful poem to her "Angel" (Lindsey). Maybe it was written at a moment in their relationship (post-breakup, of course) when they were actually getting along. At least they weren't fighting bitterly. She talks about how "he feels good." They've shared a tender moment together--"I said it's funny that you understood, I knew you would." It makes her recall happier times with him--"When you were good, you were very, very good." She misses him--"I still look up when you walk in the room." She's tempted to make an overture to him, but her pride won't let her--"I try hard to not reach out." He's cordial to her, she's cordial to him--"When you turn around, and you say hello." It's difficult, though, because they still haven't completely resolved all their feelings for each other--"We both pretend there was an end but there was no ending." So she decides to let it go.She's going to float away (emotionally) as if she were "part of the wind." She says goodbye to "the angel of her dreams" (Lindsey) and tells him that he will "never catch her" because she is free now. Another theory is that the beginning is merely an introduction to this song, and that's basically it. If this were an essay, that would be her thesis. There is no complete thought here, merely notes in her head, random thoughts. As she writes this song, she gets the basics out first, and she embellishes later. It can be debatable whether the song is for Lindsey or Don Henley. Most lean towards Lindsey. When she first breaks up with him, she expects this catharsis, and gets, surprising to her, a decent reaction. She walks out on him, and he picks up and moves on. As we all know, he DIDN'T move on, but he may have fooled her at first. She only knew he would go on if he could immerse himself in what she knew was his first love, what he was good at, music. He ended up being very, very good. http://www.fleetwoodmac.net/penguin/interpretations/a/angel.htm Sometimes The most beautiful things The most innocent things And many of those dreams Pass us by Keep passing us by You feel good I said it's funny that you understood I knew you would When you were good You were very, very good I still look up When you walk in the room I've the same wide eyes They tell the story Try not to reach out When you turn 'round And you say hello And we both pretend There was an end But there was no ending So I close my eyes softly Til I become that part of the wind That we all long for sometime And to those that I love Like a ghost through a fog Like a charmed hour And a haunted song And the angel of my dreams I still look up I try hard not to look up That girl was me Track a ghost through the fog A charmed hour -- a haunted song Track a ghost through the fog, baby Ooh, you try hard But you'll never catch me -- yeah
