When Poets Dreamed Of Angels (David Sylvian)

I found some live version of the song so I got the chords for the song figured out quite
There might still be a few mistakes though.

Well here's how I play the intro part of the song. At some point a second guitar comes
to mix it up, but here's my one-guitar version.

And then:
Em, Fmaj7-5, Em, Fmaj7-5, Em, A
Verse:
Fmaj7-5 Em Fmaj7-5
She rises early from bed, runs to the mirror.
Em A Am Bm Em
The bruises inflicted in moments of fury.
Fmaj7-5 Em Fmaj7-5
He kneels beside her once more, whispers of promise
Em A Am Bm 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.
Chorus:
Em Fmaj7-5 Em
When the poets dreamed of angels, what did they see?
A Am 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 Am Dsus2 Fmaj7-5
The Bishops and knights well placed to attack.
Now it should be quite close to how it's played. At least this is how he played the
at one live show I watched. Not completely sure about the Bm there, but I think it is it.
