When Poets Dreamed of Angels David Sylvian
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.
Intro:
---------------------------------------------------------------------| -(12)-(7)-15-15-15p12------------------------------------------------| -(12)-(7)-------------11-11h12p11----11-12-14-11---------------------| -(12)-(7)-------------------------14-------------12----12/14---------| -(12)-----------------------------------------------14---------------| -(12)----------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------(7)--------------------------------------------------| ----------------(7)-------------(7)----------------------------------| ----------------(7)--------------------------------------------------| -10p9-------9-7-------------(5)---------5---10-10-10p9-7-5-7/9-7-----| ------10h12-------------(5)-----------9------------------------------| --------------------(7)-------------7-----8--------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------(5)-----------------| ---------------------------7h9-9-------------(5)---------------------| -9-------------------7/9-----------------(5)-------------------------| ---10-9---9-10-9---------------------(5)-----------------------------| --------7--------7---------------(7)---------------------------------|
And then:
Em, Fmaj7-5, Em, Fmaj7-5, Em, A
Verse:
[Fmaj7-5]She rises early from [Em]bed, [Fmaj7-5]runs to the mirror.
The [Em]bruises [A]inflicted in [Am]moments of [Bm]fury.[Em]
[Fmaj7-5]He kneels beside her once [Em]more, [Fmaj7-5]whispers of promise
[Em]"Next time I'll [A]break every [Am]bone in your [Bm]body.".[Em]
[F]And the well-wishers [G]let the devil in.[A]
And if the [F]river ran dry they'd [G]deny it happening.[A]
Bridge:
[Edim]As the card players [F]steal their hands from the [Edim]bottom of the [F]deck.
[Am]Row upon row of [G]feudal houses [Gm7]blown away.[Am]
[Bbmaj7]Medicine for the [Fm7]popular com[Gm7]plaint.[G#] [A#]
Chorus:
[Em]When the poets dreamed of [Fmaj7-5]angels, [Em]what did they see?
[A]History lined [Am]up in a [Dsus2]flash on their [Fmaj7-5]backs.
[Em]When the poets dreamed of [Fmaj7-5]angels, [Em]what did they see?
The [A]Bishops and [Am]knights well [Dsus2]placed to [Fmaj7-5]attack.
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.
