This is a really nice song I picked up from attending a training by Dr. Joanne Loewy. Here’s the original, followed by my tutorial for playing some nice but probably unfamiliar chords.

Matt’s tutorial:

"Across The Bridge Where Angels Dwell"

E                       A6
Across the bridge where angels dwell
E                       A6
Across the bridge where angels
E                       A6
Across the bridge where angels dwell
         E     Esus   E
Children play

E                      A6
Beyond the place where time is still
E                      A6
Beyond the place where time is
E                      A6
Beyond the place where time is still
         E    B     E
Night is day

CHORUS
A          B7      E         Esus
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
A          B7        E
Close your eyes and dream
A          B7   E            A
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
A          B7       E        
Close your eyes and dream

E                    A6
Along the path where heaven lies
E                    A6
Along the path where heaven
E                    A6
Along the path where heaven lies
       E     Esus   E
All is clear

E                 A6
Ahead where home awaits the heart
E                   A6
Ahead where home is waiting
E                A6
Ahead where home awaits the heart
         E   A  E   B
Peace is near

(Instrumental - Verse chords)

A          B7      E         Esus
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
A          B7        E
Close your eyes and dream
A          B7   E            A
Close your eyes in fields of wonder
A          B7       E        
Close your eyes and dream

E                       A6
Across the bridge where angels dwell
E                       A6
Across the bridge where angels
E                       A6
Across the bridge where angels dwell
         E     Esus   E
Children play

        You’re welcome! Let me know if there are specific songs you want to learn. I used to do a bunch of medleys in hospice work, and I just uploaded a video about the technique: Making Medleys

      Loving the challenge & the chord shapes really help

        Good Sheila!
