Act of the Apostle Belle and Sebastian

The notes in parenthesis are just notes, not chords.
The G chord 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 is (d-f-d g g d-f-d)
g Cm
Morning prayers took the girl unawares
f C
She was late for class and she knew it
g Cm
The broadcaster had a voice that was soothing
f C
She couldn?t tell if it was 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 lesson today was Acts of Apostles

The crazy hippies, they?re running scared

She shut her eyes and imagined the desert
f C
No cars, no mobiles, just sun 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
[Bb]?Oh, if I could make [Eb]sense of it all!
I [Bb]wish that I could sing. I?d stay in a me[Eb]lody

A C g (f#-f-e d-e-d)
Her worries make everything else seem trivial
[Bb]?Oh, if I could make [Eb]sense of it all!
