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

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.

And then:
Em, Fmaj7-5, Em, Fmaj7-5, Em, A
Verse:
Fmaj7-5She rises early from Embed, Fmaj7-5runs to the mirror.
The Embruises Ainflicted in Ammoments of Bmfury. Em
Fmaj7-5He kneels beside her once Emmore, Fmaj7-5whispers of promise
Em"Next time AI'll break eAmvery bone in Bmyour bodyEm.".
FAnd the well-wishers Glet the devil in. A
And if the Friver ran dry they'd Gdeny it happening. A
Bridge:
EdimAs the card players Fsteal their hands from the Edimbottom of the Fdeck.
AmRow upon row of Gfeudal houses Gm7blown away. Am
Bbmaj7Medicine for the Fm7popular comGm7plaint. G# A#
Chorus:
EmWhen the poets dreamed of Fmaj7-5angels, Emwhat did they see'
AHistory lined Amup in a Dsus2flash on their Fmaj7-5backs.
EmWhen the poets dreamed of Fmaj7-5angels, Emwhat did they see'
The ABishops and Amknights well Dsus2placed to Fmaj7-5attack.
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.
