Real Life (Angel) for acoustic guitar. The original version of this song is quite hard to tab,
there are lots of little intricate changes that, while beautiful, are unnecessary for this acoustic version.
I don't think it needs any more than what I've provided here, Elbow fans. You're all Elbow fans, right?
Course you are, you're not idiots.
(Fig.1: throughout the song, Mark plays the notes A and C together along with the rhythmn.
[string 5 fret 10, string 6 fret 8, all downstrokes]
This becomes the focal point of the breakdown in the song,
but you don't have to play this if you're the lone guitar
just play Am in that bit)
intro: Fmaj7 C
Fmaj7 If you wake in the quake in the role of the heartbroken C Pounding the ground in a sawn off ballet Fmaj7 Bring us in an indigo dawn with the lovelorn and C renegade Fmaj7 You always found peace in the grip of the beat, darling C Time alone with the pounding of your heart Fmaj7 As it starts to heal you'll find a better mirror in C another A# Am Fmaj7 Am You, I've never known dumbfounded Dm Em Fmaj7 So out of reach and hollowed through A# Am Fmaj7 Am Blue and white the light and sound surrounded Dm C Fmaj7 As the music pulls you through A# Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 And on that hallelujah mor____ning Dm C C In the arms of new love, the peace that you feel's real life
(Fmaj7, C for a bit, or go straight to the next verse, up to you, kids)
Fmaj7 Go straight to the place where you first lost your balance C And find your feet with the people that you love Fmaj7 And bring us in an indigo dawn with the lovelorn and C renegade Fmaj7 Yes you with the eyes ever met not forgotten C Get hold of the night that rises in your blood Fmaj7 Focus on your pulse, focus on your breath, C know that we're never far away A# Am Fmaj7 Am You, I've never known dumbfounded Dm Em Fmaj7 So out of reach and hollowed through A# Am Fmaj7 Am Blue and white the light and sound surrounded Dm C Fmaj7 As the music pulls you through A# Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 And on that hallelujah mor____ning Dm C C In the arms of new love, the peace that you feel's real life
