     F                           C 
Miss Laura fed the hungry in the church house basement 
Am            G                   F 
After she'd retired from teaching school 
F                           C 
She'd pick my son up in her arms on Sundays  
   Am            G                F 
To teach him all about the golden rule  
F                           C 
I heard those stories about Selma and Tuskeegee 
        Am     G               F 
How she helped Martin fill the jails  
F                         C 
All I know is she had the strength of ten grown men 
G                          F 
Even though her hands were small and frail  
Refr'o -------------
                    C          G  
She was an everyday angel, the kind without wings 
Am                            F 
Walking around in this world, just like you and me 
F      C                       G                       F 
Angel, livin' out of love, the kind of people we could use a lot more of 
                 C    G          Am  F 
Just an everyday angel, everyday angel

Marilyn was waiting outside my old man's office 
Trying to hide the bruises on her face  
He said you don't have to get knocked around anymore 
You can come and stay at our place  
I didn't know 'til I had kids of my own 
But I learned a big lesson that day 
What you do means a whole lot more 
Than anything you have to say  
 
Chorus 2: 
Go be an everyday angel, the kind without wings 
Walking around in this world, just like you and me 
Angel, livin' out love, the kind of people we could use a lot more of 
Just an everyday angel, everyday angel 
 
Dave was gonna meet his wife 
In a coffee shop in Brooklyn 
When he heard the alarm sing out 
9/11,he was running up stairs 
That he never got back down, down, d-o-w-n  
 
Chorus 3: 
He was an everyday angel, earnin' his wings 
Trying to save people who are just like you and me 
Angel, living out love, the kind of people we could use a lot more of 
Just an everyday angel, everyday angel, everyday angel, everyday angel
