When The Poet Dreamed Of Angels(Chords)

	        Verse: 

Fmaj7/5-              Em   Fmaj7/5- 
She rises early from bed, runs to the mirror. 
    Em      A            C          D      Em 
The bruises inflicted in moments of fury. 
Fmaj7/5-                   Em    Fmaj7/5- 
He kneels beside her once more, whispers of promise 
Em              A           C            D       Em 
'Next time I'll break every bone in your body.'. 
F                    G                  A 
And the well-wishers let the devil in. 
           F                    G                   A 
And if the river ran dry they'd deny it happening. 


Bridge: 

Edim                F                          Edim          F 
As the card players steal their hands from the bottom of the deck. 
Am              G             Gm7          Am 
Row upon row of feudal houses blown away. 
Bbmaj7           Fm7        Gm7       G#   A# 
Medicine for the popular complaint. 

Em                        Fmaj7/5- Em 
When the poets dreamed of angels, what did they see? 
A             C       Dsus2          Fmaj7/5- 
History lined up in a flash on their backs. 
Em                        Fmaj7/5- Em 
When the poets dreamed of angels, what did they see? 
    A           C            Dsus2     Fmaj7/5- 
The Bishops and knights well placed to attack.
