Verse 1
D 
Please welcome  (D major) back to the stage,
Matt Embry.
We're going to do a song
by the Rolling Stones
called Sweet Black Angel.
It's about Angela Davis,
the famous Black Panther.
Em 
D 
 (E minor) amazing woman seen  (D major) it all
Em 
seen the inside of a jail  (E minor) cell
for many many years and
D 
still  (D major) persevered
thanks for having me
Chad yeah man it's a lot
thanks for having us all you know
We got a sweet black angel,
got a pent up girl,
got a sweet black angel up upon my world.
She ain't no singer, she ain't no star,
but she sure talk good,
and she moves so fast.
Bm 
Em 
With a gal in  (B minor) danger, a gal in  (E minor) chains
A 
She keeps on push (A major) ing,
D 
would you take her place?  (D major) 
Bm 
She's counting on the  (B minor) minutes,
Em 
she's counting on the  (E minor) days
A 
She's a sweet back angel,  (A major) oh
D 
Not a sweet  (D major) back slave
We're two little brothers sitting on a wall
Our brother's been falling,
falling one by one
And the judge is murder
and the judge is caught
Now the judge is gonna
judge her for all that
Bm 
Em 
But the gal in  (B minor) danger, the gal in  (E minor) chains
A 
She keeps on pushing,  (A major) 
D 
would you take her place?  (D major) 
Bm 
She's counting on a  (B minor) menace,
Em 
she's counting up the  (E minor) days
A 
She's a sweet black angel,  (A major) 
D 
not a sweet black slave  (D major) 
Bm 
Em 
And the gobbling  (B minor) day, gobbling  (E minor) day
A 
She keeps on push (A major) ing,
D 
would you take her please  (D major) 
Bm 
She's all the  (B minor) minutes,
Em 
she's counting all the days  (E minor) 
A 
She's a sweet black an (A major) gel,
not a dumb dumb teacher
Not a real love school mom,
ain't someone gonna free her
