_ _ _ So it's pretty _ _ intimidating that this is going out [E] to, _ and I can't even swear.
_ [A] I was right about you, that's the exact thing I'm talking about.
I've got to be careful about what I say.
It's going out to a [Em] lot of people, [D] is what I should say. _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ And one _ _ of the shows, we've just finished a tour of _ the _ _ country, and _ at one of the _ shows
I started talking about how _ we went to a strip bar in Adelaide, as you do when you're in
Rome, when in Adelaide.
_ _ And it was really great fun.
It was a really eye-opening experience. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _
And then I realised that my grandma's actually in the audience.
_ _ I was like, this is so not something I should be talking about right now.
I tend to say the first thing that comes to my head, so _ if I'm that bad at a bloody concert,
what am I going to be like?
It's going out to the whole of Australia.
[C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] Oh, this song, I might just tell you guys [N] something about it first.
I wrote this when _ I travelled the US.
_ _ I do support tours over there every now and then.
And when we're in LA, we stay in this one hotel which has black and white photographs
on the wall _ of the hallways and in the rooms and everything.
And this one time I was _ _ _ sitting in my room with my guitar and I was looking for inspiration
and I looked up and there was a photograph on the wall above me of Clark Gable and Vivian Lee.
It was actually a still of Gone With The Wind, but I didn't realise that yet. _
Because I haven't seen it.
I'm not from that generation.
Even though it's a classic and people frown at me when I say that. _ _ _
So yeah, I looked [G] up and Clark was kind of holding Vivian and she was looking very feminine.
He was looking very big and _ masculine and bear-like and kind of the protector. _ _
It was all very romantic and she was looking _ _ succumbing to his bigness.
And _ _ _ as _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
you do, _ _ _ his manliness. _ _
_ _ [N] Not manhood.
_ _ And I looked at her face and I thought, I don't believe you Vivian.
I thought, there's an inner strength in that woman.
And I thought, you're cheeky, you know exactly what you're doing.
You've got that man wrapped around your little finger. _
_ _ So I decided, it kind of inspired me.
I thought, I'm going to try and write a song from the perspective of a woman that's kind
of vying for Clark Gable's affection with _ Vivian Lee in the way.
And I decided to call her [Em] Angela. _
So that's what this song's called.
