The Angels Lyrics

Angels
Tune up half-a-half-step to play with the CD. (I'm told that its quite
common studio practice just to 'speed up' the final mix of a track either
to balance out the length of each side of an album or to brighten the
track up a bit. Doesn't stop it being a pain in the machine heads tho').
A D (e) A (c#)
Don't be afraid close your eyes
lay it all down don't you cry
A - guitar
D (c#) D -keyboard
can't you see I-I'm going where I can see the sun rise -$
(d) (b) D slide E
I've been talking to my angels and they say that it's..
..alright I've always had to run
I don't know just why desire slowly smoking
under the mid west sky but there's
something waiting out there that says
I've got to try I've been talking to my angels
and they say that it's alright this town
(bridge):
(ba)
this town thinks I'm crazy, they just think I'm strange
sometimes they would own me sometimes they wish I'd change
but I can feel the thunder underneath my feet
E D A %
I sold my soul for freedom, it's lonely but it's sweet
(repeat verse1)
A D A D to fade
On the keyboard sections (everything except the second verse)- the
UPPERCASE letters are full chords and lowercase are individual notes.
This arrangement doesn't translate very well onto guitar. Suggest
improvising around this basic pattern for verses 1/3 :
// D(sus9) A \\
D slide E is
EADGBe
This song's quite tricky to play/sing- there are two key changes in the
bridge * (from A to E) and %(E back down to A).
I keep having trouble with the end of the third line in the verse ($). I
think on keyboard its " c# D ", but on guitar, " A " sounds better,
though every so often it sounds like a Bm. Whaddayathink?
I think there's still plenty of room for improvement here, so feel free
