Belle and Sebastian — Act of the Apostle
The notes in brackets are just notes, not chords. The G chord FD-E-D before 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... DGG-D D-F-D intro riff x4 then 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 FD-E-D A C G A patch of sun fell onto her neck FD-E-D A C G She put her head on her arms on her desk G Cm The lesson today was Acts of Apostles F C The crazy hippies, they??re running scared G Cm She shut her eyes and imagined the desert F C No cars, no mobiles, just sun and bread FD-E-D A C G What would she look like standing by the well? FD-E-D A C G More like a women and less like a girl Bb Eb ??Oh, if I could make sense of it all! Bb Eb I wish that I could sing. I??d stay in a melody Bb I would float along in my everlasting song CC-B Am D What would I do to believe??? DGG-D D-F-D intro notes again: x4 then G Cm Later on she plays Morning Has Broken F C She knows she??s bad. She is slowing everbody down G Cm The choirmaster, usually a bastard, F C knows her mother??s sick. He??ll be nice to her. FD-E-D A C G She thinks that she shouldn??t be there at all FD-E-D A C G Her worries make everything else seem trivial Bb Eb ??Oh, if I could make sense of it all! Bb Eb I wish that I could sing. I??d stay in a melody Bb I would float along in my everlasting song CC-B Am D What would I do to believe??? CC-B Repeat A few more times: Am D
