Verse 1
D 
Please welcome 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 
amazing woman seen it all
Em 
seen the inside of a jail cell
for many many years and
D 
still 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 danger, a gal in chains
A 
She keeps on pushing,
D 
would you take her place?
Bm 
She's counting on the minutes,
Em 
she's counting on the days
A 
She's a sweet back angel, oh
D 
Not a sweet 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 danger, the gal in chains
A 
She keeps on pushing,
D 
would you take her place?
Bm 
She's counting on a menace,
Em 
she's counting up the days
A 
She's a sweet black angel,
D 
not a sweet black slave
Bm 
Em 
And the gobbling day, gobbling day
A 
She keeps on pushing,
D 
would you take her please
Bm 
She's all the minutes,
Em 
she's counting all the days
A 
She's a sweet black angel,
not a dumb dumb teacher
Not a real love school mom,
ain't someone gonna free her
