Patience of Angels (Boo Hewerdine)
----------------------------------

Written & performed by Boo Hewerdine, but I don't know of a recording of it by
him. Eddi Reader has recorded it, it's on her first album (called Eddi
Reader!)


G D C D
From the top of the bus she thought she saw him 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]:
G D C D
That it would try the patience of angels
it would try the patience of angels


G D C D
And you know something's wrong when the morning hurts your eyes
you'll be waiting 'til you die
Would I be any good and if I was would I find

[Chorus]

G D C D
There's a door in a wall in a house in a street
she's the patience of
angels

G D C D
Does she know? I don't know but from here I can tell
There's a door in a wall in a house in a street
she's the patience
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-.||

G (barre 3) D C D
