Hewerdine Boo - Patience Of Angels guitar tab

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

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---
