Act Of The Apostle Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 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

A♯“Oh, if I could make D♯sense of it all!

 I A♯wish that I could sing. I’d stay in a meD♯lody

 I would float along in my everlasting A♯song

  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

A♯“Oh, if I could make D♯sense of it all!

 I A♯wish that I could sing. I’d stay in a meD♯lody

 I would float along in my everlasting A♯song

  Am [C-B C-B] D

What would I do to believe?”

 Repeat A few more times: Am [C-B C-B] D
