Walk With Angles lyrics by Johnny McEvoy 

By Johnny McEvoy
Early on one winters morning
I too the road to Islandbridge
T'was there I spied a fair young maiden
Walking by a greenwood hedge
Where are you going my lovely maiden
on this cold winters day
She said my friend I walk with angels
to guide the strangers on my way
Gentle maiden now I love you
And my heart it breaks in two
And the stars up in the heavens
Could never shine as bright as you
But I am just a lonely traveler
Lost within a strangers land
Where no angels waly beside me
Where there's none to take my hand
She said the road that you must travel
Is long and weary to your feet
But you must walk the road before you
And some day again we'll meet
And when that day has come upon us
And the winter winds have died
On Islandbridge we'll be together
And walk with angels side by side
Here's another version for the key of A

[A]Early on [D]one winters [A]morning
I too the [D]road to Island[Em]bridge
T'was there I [A]spied [D]a fair woung [A]maiden
Walking [Em]by a greenwood [A]hedge
[D]Where are you go[A]ing my lovely maiden
on this [D]cold [A]winters [Em]day
She said my [A]friend I [D]walk with an[A]gels
to guide the [Em]strangers on my [A]way

[A]Gentle mai[D]den now I love [A]you
And my [D]heart it breaks in [Em]two
And the [A]stars [D]up in the [A]heavens
Could never [Em]shine as bright as [A]you
But [D]I am just a lonely [A]traveller
Lost with[D]in a strangers [Em]land
Where no [A]an[D]gels waly be[A]side me
Where there's [Em]none to take my [A]hand


[A]She said the road that [D]you must [A]travell
Is long and [D]weary to your [Em]feet
But you must [A]walk [D]the road be[A]fore you
And some [Em]day again we'll [A]meet
And [D]when that day has come u[A]pon us
And the [D]winter winds have [Em]died
On Island[A]bridge [D]we'll be to[A]gether
And walk with [Em]angels side by [D]side
