Biography:
The Bible were an independent UK band with lead singer Boo Hewerdine. The band released two critically acclaimed albums in the mid-1980s.
In 1985, Hewerdine, who ran a record shop in Cambridge UK, formed The Bible, recruiting jazz drummer Tony Shepherd. They released an album of songs through the independent Norwich label Backs Records called Walking The Ghost Back Home.
The Bible became a fairly successful independent band, with a cult following spread mostly through word of mouth and live performances.

Graceland (The Bible!)
----------------------
This is on 'Random Acts of Kindness' and also 'Walking the Ghost Back Home' by
The Bible! Written by Boo Hewerdine and Tony Shepherd. Unless there's
something wrong with my CD player or guitar tuning (quite possible), the key
seems to be about halfway between G and Ab. Below is written as though played
in G at the nut.

Would I give you money I don't know

The free-est things in life are best & so put me to the test, now

ooh ooh ooh , etc. over A E D E
Right hand:
v is a downstroke
^ is an upstroke
Va is slightly arpeggiated downstroke
^a is slightly arpeggiated upstroke
N.C. is no chord
* The section "oo oo oo, all my wanting. . . waiting. working, etc." is
played as the lowest 4 notes in each chord, played as a slow arpeggio, but
this can sound a bit thin without keyboards underneath it, so strumming this
bit might be better unless you're playing with a band.
