ubi_rex@hotmail.com The notes in parenthesis are just notes, not chords. The G chord before (f#-f-e d-e-d) is played very briefly before the notes come in. It probably doesn't really matter if you play the G at all, but I think it's there. I think this sounds best with the recording if you barre G and Cm, and mute the E string in the Cm, if you're playing guitar, that is... intro riff is (d-f-d g g d-f-d) g Cm Morning prayers took the girl unawares f C She was late for class and she knew it g Cm The broadcaster had a voice that was soothing f C She couldn’t tell if it was a man or wo-man A C g (f#-f-e d-e-d) A patch of sun fell onto her neck A C g (f#-f-e d-e-d) She put her head on her arms on her desk [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/belle-and-sebastian/70283.html ] g Cm The lesson today was Acts of Apostles f C The crazy hippies, they’re running scared g Cm She shut her eyes and imagined the desert f C No cars, no mobiles, just sun and bread A C g (f#-f-e d-e-d) What would she look like standing by the well? A C g (f#-f-e d-e-d) More like a women and less like a girl Bb Eb “Oh, if I could make sense of it all! Bb Eb I wish that I could sing. I’d stay in a melody Bb I would float along in my everlasting song Am (c-b C-b) d What would I do to believe?” intro notes again: d-f-d g g d-f-d g Cm Later on she plays Morning Has Broken f C She knows she’s bad. She is slowing everbody down g Cm The choirmaster, usually a bastard, f C knows her mother’s sick. He’ll be nice to her. A C g (f#-f-e d-e-d) She thinks that she shouldn’t be there at all A C g (f#-f-e d-e-d) Her worries make everything else seem trivial Bb Eb “Oh, if I could make sense of it all! Bb Eb I wish that I could sing. I’d stay in a melody Bb I would float along in my everlasting song Am (c-b C-b) d What would I do to believe?” Repeat A few more times: Am (c-b C-b) d |
