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---
||
      G
--------------4----------3-------2----------0-----0-------3-------2-.||
      D
--------5-----------0---------------------2-----------0-------------.||
      A ------5-------------------------------3-----------------------------
||
      E -3------------------------------------------------------------------
||
         G(barre 3)         D                 C               D
