When Poets Dreamed Of Angels (David Sylvian) Tuning: standard (EADGHE) I found some live version of the song so I got the chords for the song figured out quite There might still be a few mistakes though. Chords used: Fmaj7-5 Em A Am Bm F G Edim7 Gm7 Am(2) Bbmaj7 Fm7 G# A# Dsus2 --0------0--0--0--2--1--3--3-----3---5-----1------1---4--6---0-----| --0------0--2--1--3--1--3--2-----3---5-----3------1---4--6---3-----| --2------0--2--2--4--2--0--3-----3---5-----2------1---5--7---2-----| --3------2--2--2--4--3--0--2-----3---7-----3------1---6--8---0-----| --3------2--0--0--2--3--2--------5---7-----1------3---6--8---------| --1------0-----------1--3--------3---5------------1---4--6---------| Well here's how I play the intro part of the song. At some point a second guitar comes to mix it up, but here's my one-guitar version. Intro: ---------------------------------------------------------------------| -(12)-(7)-15-15-15p12------------------------------------------------| -(12)-(7)-------------11-11h12p11----11-12-14-11---------------------| -(12)-(7)-------------------------14-------------12----12/14---------| -(12)-----------------------------------------------14---------------| -(12)----------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------(7)--------------------------------------------------| ----------------(7)-------------(7)----------------------------------| ----------------(7)--------------------------------------------------| -10p9-------9-7-------------(5)---------5---10-10-10p9-7-5-7/9-7-----| ------10h12-------------(5)-----------9------------------------------| --------------------(7)-------------7-----8--------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------(5)-----------------| ---------------------------7h9-9-------------(5)---------------------| -9-------------------7/9-----------------(5)-------------------------| ---10-9---9-10-9---------------------(5)-----------------------------| --------7--------7---------------(7)---------------------------------| And then: Em, Fmaj7-5, Em, Fmaj7-5, Em, A Verse: Fmaj7-5 Em Fmaj7-5 She rises early from bed, runs to the mirror. Em A Am Bm Em The bruises inflicted in moments of fury. Fmaj7-5 Em Fmaj7-5 He kneels beside her once more, whispers of promise Em A Am Bm Em "Next time I'll break every bone in your body.". F G A And the well-wishers let the devil in. F G A And if the river ran dry they'd deny it happening. Bridge: Edim F Edim F As the card players steal their hands from the bottom of the deck. Am G Gm7 Am Row upon row of feudal houses blown away. Bbmaj7 Fm7 Gm7 G# A# Medicine for the popular complaint. Chorus: Em Fmaj7-5 Em When the poets dreamed of angels, what did they see? A Am Dsus2 Fmaj7-5 History lined up in a flash on their backs. Em Fmaj7-5 Em When the poets dreamed of angels, what did they see? A Am Dsus2 Fmaj7-5 The Bishops and knights well placed to attack. Now it should be quite close to how it's played. At least this is how he played the at one live show I watched. Not completely sure about the Bm there, but I think it is it. Tabbed by Kari Kääntä
