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!)
GDCD 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]: GDCD That it would try the patience of angels it would try the patience of angels
GDCD 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]
GDCD There's a door in a wall in a house in a street she's the patience of angels
GDCD 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
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-.|| D --------5-----------0---------------------2-----------0-------------.-------|| A ------5-------------------------------3-----------------------------|| || E -3------------------------------------------------------------------ || G(barre 3) DCD
