CHORUS
KEY: Bb/CAPO: 3rd FRET/PLAY: G
[Bb-G] I Don't Claim To Be An Angel
My [Eb-C] life's been full of [Bb-G] sin
But when I met you darling
That all came to an [F7-D7] end
[Bb-G] Never doubt my love, dear
What-[Eb-C] ever you may [Bb-G] do
I Don't Claim To Be An Angel
But [F7-D7] my love for you is [Bb-G] true.

[Bb-G] You'll hear talk around town
Of [Eb-C] things I used to [Bb-G] do
Some will try to poison your mind
That my love can't be [F7-D7] true
[Bb-G] Many nights I lay awake, dear
[Eb-C] Hoping our love will [Bb-G] last
Wondering if your love is strong enough
To [F7-D7] forget about my [Bb-G] past.

CHORUS

I never knew what real love was, till you came along
You changed my outlook on life, made me regret my wrong
Why should my past keep haunting me, all thru the years
I've paid for each mistake, with millions of bitter tears.

CHORUS
