Enormous Wings
(M. Linkous/S. Hoffs)
Vocal/Electric Guitar: Susanna Hoffs
>From Susanna Hoffs self-titled album released in 1996.
(London Records 422 828 820 2) (Trust me.... it's a very enjoyable CD!)
Performed on electric guitar and interpreted from live performance by
Susanna Hoffs. This is my own interpretation based on the viewing of Ms.
Hoffs in concert.
If you have anything to add to this or any other Susanna Hoffs song
tabs (or Bangles tabs that aren't listed in OLGA) please send them to me.

There is an arpeggio that is used in this song which I think is similar to
the following...
Intro....
E Bm A (Repeat 4 times)
There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
They say he saw the world through the eyes of a blue dog
There once was a man who had enormous wings
Chorus:
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
People came to see from all around
He was lying there
He was lying there
His dreams are forever entangled in the mud
He's an angel tangled in the mud
Every soul you meet may be a stranger
He's an angel, he must be coming for the children
Chorus:
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
People came to see from all around
He was lying there
And though he'd like to sleep, the stars fall to the earth in heaps
And he's got tears in his eyes cause the town is filled
with so many spies
They all avert their eyes
The rain had knocked him down
People came to see from all around
He was lying there
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
He was lying there
E Bm A (Repeat twice)
They say he saw the world through the eyes of a blue dog
He's an angel who had enormous wings
There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
