(explanations for parenthetical notation at end)

If[A(5)] you had not have f[C#m(4)]allen
then [D(2)]I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
[A(5)]I patched up your [C#m(4)]broken wing and [D(2)]hung around for a [A(5)]while
[B(7)]trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down
So [A(5)]leave me if you [C#m(4)]need to, [D(2)]I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.

I [A(5)]knew some[C#m(4)]day that you would fly [D(2)]away
for love's the greatest healer to be found
So [A(5)]leave me if you [C#m(4)]need to, [D(2)]I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

[A(5)]Fly on fly on [C#m(4)]past, the speed of [D(2)]sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So [A(5)]leave me if you [C#m(4)]need to, [D(2)]I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground.

The numbers in parenthesis indicate to barre the chord on that fret.
For example A(5) means to play an E chord barred on the 5th fret.
C#m(4) means to play an Am chord barred on the 4th fret.
D(2) means to play a C chord barred on the 2nd fret.
No parenthesis means to play the chord in the typical open string position.
If you're not comfortable with barre chords, the song sound fine without them.
D#dim is played by xx1212.
Willie likes to add lots of bass runs like C# C D (on the A string)
between the C#m and D chords
and E F# G# A (on the E string) with a triplet feel on each note
between the E and A(5) chords or the A and A(5) chords
