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.

*This is revised with slight chord changes (Mar/98)*

There is an arpeggio that is used in this song which I think is similar to
the following...

  |     E      |   Bm   |   A   |

B --------0----------3-------2---------------------------------|
G ------1---1------4---4---2---2-------------------------------|
D ----2-------2--4-------2-------0-----------------------------|
A --2----------------------------------------------------------|

Intro....

 E    Bm    A      (Repeat 4 times)
..............................
 E                        Bm    A
There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
 E    Bm    A
..............................
 E                        Bm    A
There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
E    Bm    A
..............................


     E                                Bm       A     E  Bm  A
They say he saw the world through the eyes of a blue dog
E                        Bm    A       E  Bm  A
There once was a man who had enormous wings


Chorus:


C#m             B                    A
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
C#m            B             A
People came to see from all around
        E          Bm  A
He was lying there
E          Bm  A
He was lying there


E               Bm      A               E    Bm  A
His dreams are forever entangled in the mud
       E      Bm      A       E   Bm  A
He's an angel tangled in the mud
 E                Bm  A           E   Bm  A
Every soul you meet may be a stranger
       E          Bm       A              E      Bm  A
He's an angel, he must be coming for the children


Chorus:


C#m             B                    A
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
C#m            B             A
People came to see from all around
        E          Bm  A
He was lying there

E               C                  A                              E
And though he'd like to sleep, the stars fall to the earth in heaps
             C                           A
And he's got tears in his eyes cause the town is filled
                 E
with so many spies
                        C#m
They all avert their eyes

    B                    A
The rain had knocked him down
C#m            B             A
People came to see from all around

He was lying there
C#m             B                    A
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
        E
He was lying there

E    Bm    A       (Repeat twice)
.......................
     E                                Bm       A      E  Bm  A
They say he saw the world through the eyes of a blue dog
       E             Bm  A         E
He's an angel who had enormous wings

There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
