The notes in brackets are just notes, not chords. The G chord
before [F#-F-E D-E-D] is played very briefly before the notes come in.
It probably doesn't really matter if you play the G at all, but I think it's there.
I think this sounds best with the recording if you barre G and Cm, and mute the E
string in the Cm, if you're playing guitar, that is...
intro riff [D-F-D G G]x4 then [D-F-D]
GMorning prayers took the Cmgirl unawares
She was Flate for class and she Cknew it
The Gbroadcaster had a Cmvoice that was soothing
She Fcouldn't tell if it Cwas a man or wo-man
A C G [F#-F-E D-E-D]
A patch of sun fell onto her neck
A C G [F#-F-E D-E-D]
She put her head on her arms on her desk
The Glesson today was CmActs of Apostles
The Fcrazy hippies, they're Crunning scared
She Gshut her eyes and Cmimagined the desert
No Fcars, no mobiles, just Csun and bread
A C G [F#-F-E D-E-D]
What would she look like standing by the well'
A C G [F#-F-E D-E-D]
More like a women and less like a girl
Bb"Oh, if I could make Ebsense of it all!
I Bbwish that I could sing. I'd stay in a meEblody
I would float along in my everlasting Bbsong
Am [C-B C-B] D
What would I do to believe'"
intro notes again: [D-F-D G G]x4 then [D-F-D]
GLater on she plays CmMorning Has Broken
She Fknows she's bad. She is Cslowing everbody down
The Gchoirmaster, Cmusually a bastard,
knows her Fmother's sick. He'll be Cnice to her.
A C G [F#-F-E D-E-D]
She thinks that she shouldn't be there at all
A C G [F#-F-E D-E-D]
Her worries make everything else seem trivial
Bb"Oh, if I could make Ebsense of it all!
I Bbwish that I could sing. I'd stay in a meEblody
I would float along in my everlasting Bbsong
Am [C-B C-B] D
What would I do to believe'"
Repeat A few more times: Am [C-B C-B] D
