The notes in brackets are just notes, not chords. The G chord
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...
intro riff [-- ]x4 then [--]
Morning prayers took the girl unawares
She was late for class and she knew it
The broadcaster had a voice that was soothing
She couldn’t tell if it was a man or wo-man
[-- --]
A patch of sun fell onto her neck
[-- --]
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
No cars, no mobiles, just sun and bread
[-- --]
What would she look like standing by the well?
[-- --]
More like a women and less like a girl
“Oh, if I could make sense of it all!
I wish that I could sing. I’d stay in a melody
I would float along in my everlasting song
[- -]
What would I do to believe?”
intro notes again: [-- ]x4 then [--]
Later on she plays Morning Has Broken
She knows she’s bad. She is slowing everbody down
The choirmaster, usually a bastard,
knows her mother’s sick. He’ll be nice to her.
[-- --]
She thinks that she shouldn’t be there at all
[-- --]
Her worries make everything else seem trivial
“Oh, if I could make sense of it all!
I wish that I could sing. I’d stay in a melody
I would float along in my everlasting song
[- -]
What would I do to believe?”
Repeat few more times: [- -]
