Eli McIlveen was kind enough to
share this with me, so I’ll send it along to another with fine taste in
music. The rest of you can look to, if you want.
(Note: Break out the slide and play the three-chord cycle in bar-A form.)
She’s an Angel
by They Might Be Giants
[Convention: each chord is two beats/half a measure. A dash indicates that
the chord is held for another two beats; two chords with a slash between
them are held for one beat/a quarter of a measure each.]
1.
(bass B throughout)
I met someone at the dog show
she was holding my left arm
but everyone was acting normal
so I tried to look nonchalant
We both said I really love you
the Shriners loaned us cars
we raced up and down the sidewalk
twenty thousand million times
Chorus:
(Repeating three-chord cycle: AEB)
A E B A E B A
Why did they send her over anyone else? how should I react?
E B A E B A
these things happen to other people — they don’t happen at all in fact
|: E B
When you’re following an angel
A Abm / B 😐
does it mean you have to throw your body off a building
somewhere they’re meeting on a pinhead
calling you an angel calling you the nicest things
|: B A
I heard they have a space program
E B 😐
when they sing you can’t hear — there’s no air
sometimes I think I kinda like that and
other times I think I’m already there
2.
Gonna ask for my admission
gonna speak to the guy in charge
the secretary says he’s on another line —
can I hold for a long long time?
I found out she’s an angel
I don’t think she knows I know
I’m worried that something might happen to me
if anyone ever finds out
(Chorus)
E B
When you’re following an angel does it mean you
A Abm / B
have to throw your body off a building
E B
somewhere they’re meeting on a pinhead
A G#m / B E
calling you an angel calling you the nicest things
Most excellent song! Enjoy!
