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 All comments, corrections, improvements etc. welcome.
