PATIENCE OF ANGELS Boo Hewerdine
----------------------------------
From the [G]top of the [D]bus she [C]thought she saw him [D]wave
she saw Tuesdays and forgetfulness and a little money saved
Does she know ? I don't know but from here I can tell
(Chorus):
That it would [G]try [D] the patience of a[C]ngels[D]
it would try the patience of angels
And you k[G]now something's [D]wrong when the [C]morning hurts your e[D]yes
Would I be any good and if I was would I find
(Chorus)
There's a d[G]oor in a [D]wall in a [C]house in a [D]street
angels
Does she k[G]now? I don't [D]know but from [C]here I can [D]tell
There's a door in a wall in a house in a street
of angels
Strumming is:
|x-----------------x-x------x--------x--------x--------| = 1 bar
beats 1 2 3 4 5 6
6 beats per bar, one chord per bar. Play the 6th beat as the top 4 strings
open (DGBe = ?Gadd6) in every bar. (This sounds right and it gives you ages to
make the chord change!)
Suggest picking out the lines marked < x > by singing them an octave higher
than the rest.
Chords are standard (open) fingerings.
This G D C D stuff is a bit of an oversimplification. Live, there seems to be
some melody going on on the top two strings, but I haven't worked out what
he's doing. Still, this should be enough to carry the tune in the
Underground/Subway!
Boo plays this live in Db (capo at 6th fret), Eddi Reader's album version is
in Bb (capo 3), I can't get above B (Capo 4) if I'm going to hit the next
octave in the vocal- just play it in as high a key as you can.
Also, if it's quiet you can try an arpeggio intro:
E ----------3------------------2----------------0---------------2-----
||
B ------------3--------------2---3----------------1-----------2---3---

[G]
--------------4----------3-------2----------0-----0-------3-------2-.||
[D]
--------5-----------0---------------------2-----------0-------------.||
A ------5-------------------------------3-----------------------------

E -3------------------------------------------------------------------

G(barre 3) D C D
