Enormous Wings
(M. Linkous/S. Hoffs)
Vocal/Electric Guitar: Susanna Hoffs
>From Susanna Hoffs self-titled album released in 1996.
(London Records 422 828 820 2) (Trust me.... it's a very enjoyable CD!)
Performed on electric guitar and interpreted from live performance by
Susanna Hoffs. This is my own interpretation based on the viewing of Ms.
Hoffs in concert.
If you have anything to add to this or any other Susanna Hoffs song
tabs (or Bangles tabs that aren't listed in OLGA) please send them to me.
*This is revised with slight chord changes (Mar/98)*

There is an arpeggio that is used in this song which I think is similar to
the following...
| E | Bm | A |
B --------0----------3-------2---------------------------------|
G ------1---1------4---4---2---2-------------------------------|
D ----2-------2--4-------2-------0-----------------------------|
A --2----------------------------------------------------------|
