Enormous Wings Tab

by Susanna Hoffs





-------------------------------------------------------------------

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...

  |           |      |      |

B --------0----------3-------2---------------------------------|
G ------1---1------4---4---2---2-------------------------------|
D ----2-------2--4-------2-------0-----------------------------|

Intro....

               (Repeat 4 times)
..............................
                             
There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
         
..............................
                             
There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
        
..............................


                                                     
They say he saw the world through the eyes of a blue dog
                                       
There once was a man who had enormous wings


Chorus:


                                 
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
                         
People came to see from all around
                    
He was lying there
            
He was lying there


                                          
His dreams are forever entangled in the mud
                               
He's an angel tangled in the mud
                                   
Every soul you meet may be a stranger
                                              
He's an angel, he must be coming for the children


Chorus:


                                 
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
                         
People came to see from all around
                    
He was lying there

                                                               
And though he'd like to sleep, the stars fall to the earth in heaps
                                        
And he's got tears in his eyes cause the town is filled
                 
with so many spies
                        
They all avert their eyes

                        
The rain had knocked him down
                         
People came to see from all around

He was lying there
                                 
It was sad, the rain had knocked him down
        
He was lying there

               (Repeat twice)
.......................
                                                      
They say he saw the world through the eyes of a blue dog
                               
He's an angel who had enormous wings

There once was a very old man who had enormous wings
