 THE ANGELS CRIED
 by Alan Jackson with Alison Krauss
 written by Harley Allen and Deborah Nims
 charted by Bo Frazer <BoFrazer@cfl.rr.com> 
 NOTES: capo fret 3
 ----------------------------------------------------------
 Intro = D  C  G  A  D  C  G  A
 
 Verse 1:
      D                    A          
 They came from near, they came from far,
 Bm          A               G             
 Following a distant star to where He lay, 
     D             A
 Not being sure of what it meant, but 
 Bm             A
 Knowing it was heaven sent,
      G 
 They made their way,
 
 Chorus:
         Em
 And the creatures gathered 'round 
     G
 And didn't make a sound,
         D  C   G 
 And the angels cried.
 
 Verse 2:
 The angels knew what was to come,
 The reason God had sent His son 
 From up above.
 It filled their hearts with joy to see, and 
 Knowing of His destiny, 
 Came tears of love.
 <chorus>
  
 <repeat intro> 
 Verse 3:
 I've often thought about that night 
 And wondered if they realized 
 That star so bright 
 Was sent to tell all the land 
 The Son of God would soon become 
 The Son of Man. 
 <chorus>
 <repeat last chorus line twice>
