She kisses my eyelids and my wrists
   Dbm        Abm             E       Amaj7
Wake to the bleeding of the blade of the sun
   E      Abm   Dbm Amaj7
Returning to my oxygen

Dbm   Abm  E   Amaj7
My angel, my angel (3x)

How to play my angel on ukulele

This one usually works fingerpicked on ukulele rather than strummed. If you would rather strum, the everywhere 4/4 works as a fallback. This arrangement is in Db minor. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 4 half-steps, then a capo on fret 4 restores the key you see here. Fingerpick a rolling pattern instead of strumming for this intimate folk feel.
