Version 1
            chords: C X(see chord of that name below) Y (see below) Am F G Estring (see below) 

oaky, as for how to play it, 
every time you play one of the chords you need to hit one of the strings i tell you too, 
then two downstrokes, then next chord. 
listen to the song to get an idea of what im saying. 
here is the strings you need to hit:


C= A string
F= E string
G= E string
Am= A string


its pretty easy! okay, X and Y are names i always give to chords i dont have a 
clue what they are. anyway, this is what they are:


X= |----------------|
   |-----1--1-------|
   |-----0--0-------|

Y= |----------------|  
   |-----1--1-------|
   |-----2--2-------|
   |----------------|
   |----------------|
   |--0-------------|


Estring: play the estring open while 1st finger is on b string first fret


for these:

And I know it won't be long,
     F      G     Am     E string

in my angel's arms.

cause you'll never know, 
C              G     Am     G
it just might be an angel come,
F             G      Am        Y
Oh- knockin' at your door,

Oh- knockin' at your door.

And I know it won't be long,

 to find myself a resting place,
    F      G     Am    E string   
in my angel's arms,  Oh-

in my angel's arms.
