Exactly as he plays it in this awesome live performance from BBC 4's 'Songwriter's
Circle' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stjaM9MXQNY)
Standard tuning, capo 5th.
INTRO RIFF
The intro is a nice Am | G add4 | C | G add4 progression. He plays it with this little
fill in place of the last chord though:
So, start with:
[INTRO RIFF x3]
VERSE 1
From the top of the bus
She thought she saw him wave
She's all Tuesdays, and forgetfulness,
And a little money saved
BRIDGE 1
Does she know? I don't know.
But from here, I can tell
CHORUS
It would try the patience of angels
It would try the patience of angels
[INTRO RIFF x 1]
VERSE 2
And you know something's wrong
When the morning hurts your eyes
And the baby won't stop crying
You'll be waiting 'til you die
BRIDGE 2
Would I be any good?
If I was, would I find...
[CHORUS]
VERSE 3
There's a door, in a wall
In a house, in a street
In a town where no-one
Knows her name
(She's the patience of angels)
[INTRO RIFF x1]
[BRIDGE 1 x1]
VERSE 3 OUTRO VAR
There's a door, in a wall
In a house, in a street
In a town where no-one
Knows her name
[VERSE 3 OUTRO VAR x1]
(She's the patience of angels)
[INTRO RIFF x2]
[CHORUS]
Angelllllsss etc (improv)
[VERSE 3 OUTRO VAR x2]
