@SONG: * RUNNING FROM AN ANGEL

(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu

and Paul Hutchinson <u9343164@qub.ac.uk)

Note: This song is capo'd at the second fret. Chords are relative to the

capo, single notes are at their true fret positions. It also sounds good to

play the D chords by plucking the D string and then playing the chord.

(intro): | D Bm | D Bm A | D Bm | D A D | x3

(First time just riff - see tab,

second time acoustic enters,

third time w/band)

D Bm D Bm A

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth

D Bm D A D

Don't try and tell me what they're talking about, oh

Those things you're dealing with, you're living a lie

Everytime I see you it makes me wanna cry

(intro riff)

The times we laughed and talked, seems like yesterday

Then you let the white horse come and take you away

They came to get you it was coal black

The wheels were in motion, there was no turning back

A Bm

Running from an angel

A Bm G

Running to the devil, devil yeah

(intro riff)

Running from an angel

Running to the devil

I gave up on you a long time ago

Well, there's something I want you to know

Your lying and cheating really tore us apart

Please don't come home if you're gonna break my mama's heart

(chorus)

(intro riff)

Running from an angel

Running to the devil

Running, running, running

Don't make me cry again

(violin solo): | D | Bm | D | Bm A D | x3

(chorus)

NB This is doubled an octave above by violin. You can copy this with an

octave pedal (as in Only Wanna Be With You) if you have one.

During the verses, the electric just strums the chords, but plays the last

bar of the intro riff over the D A D bar -"what they're talking about"

Solo:

Play this over the D chords in the solo- (just strum for the other chords)
