[B]
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.
