GUT PAGEANT

album version - STRANGE ANGELS
___________________________________________
___________________________________________

another sweet and innocent STRANGE ANGELS song.
it's hard to sing along, because the melody is
a little off: Krisitn plays an F#-major chord
and sings the note A directy after that ("WHAT
a gut pageant..."). it's hard to hit that note.
...and the notes after that.
