None of them
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

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

Time alone with the pounding of your heart

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

C
And find your feet with the people that you love
Fmaj7
And bring us in an indigo dawn with the lovelorn and
C

Get hold of the night that rises in your blood
