The Angels Melissa Etheridge
Angels
------
Tune up half-a-half-step to play with the CD. (I'm told that its quite
common studio practice just to 'speed up' the final mix of a track either
to balance out the length of each side of an album or to brighten the
track up a bit. Doesn't stop it being a pain in the machine heads tho').

On the keyboard sections (everything except the second verse)- the
UPPERCASE letters are full chords and lowercase are individual notes.
This arrangement doesn't translate very well onto guitar. Suggest
improvising around this basic pattern for verses 1/3 :
// D(sus9) A \\
e -||-------0----2-------0----2-------------0------------0----||-- B -||------3--3---3-----3--3---3------0------2------0-----2---||-- G -||.----2------------2-------------2---2---------2--2------.||-- D -||.---0------------0-------------2-------------2----------.||-- A -||------------------------------0-------------0------------||-- E -||---------------------------------------------------------||--

This song's quite tricky to play/sing- there are two key changes in the
bridge * (from A to E) and %(E back down to A).
I keep having trouble with the end of the third line in the verse ($). I
think on keyboard its " c# D ", but on guitar, " A " sounds better,
though every so often it sounds like a Bm. Whaddayathink?
I think there's still plenty of room for improvement here, so feel free
