Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
“Angel Eyes,” as found on “Miracle” by Willy DeVille (1987). Standard tuning. Found these chords on another
site linked to chords with a video. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find who put the chords together so not much
credit can be redirected to the people who put in the hard hours on this one. If I find out who you are, I’ll
be sure to update. I wanted a print version, so here we are.
In the Verse 2 I wasn’t sure if Knopfler (as credited for the guitar work on this song) was jumping to an F#
on the 3rd line between the B's, changing the root, changing the voicing. Same thing in the bridge on the 4th
line with the D#m at the beginning. Play it how you like, or if you know what that talent is doing, please
share. As always, constructive comments are appreciated.
I should add that I am a bassist and it sounds good to me. Some guitar players may find the voicing of the
chords to sound better, or just easier to play with the use of a capo on the 4th play it in G position.
