David Byrne and Fatboy Slim God Draws Straight From the Musical - Here Lies Love I don't think these are the official chord but I think it's close enough to what I can hear. I love this song, it comes at the end of the musical and is based on the actual words of fighters during The People Power Revolution in 1986. The musical is based on the life of Imelda Marcos the former widow of former Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos. Enjoy!

FAs I left my house, as I wAalked out today Thought I walkeGmd out my marriage. Thought IBbm walked out on grace As the dawnF it was Gmbreaking at thBbe end of the Cstreet I didn't kGmnow what would happen, didn't Bbknow what I'd see I saw twoF transit buses blocked the Aroad on our side Saw a coupGmle of joggers who chancedBbm to run by F `Gm Bb C Saw some soldiers come out and they mixed with the crowd Tears cGmame to my eyes we’re juBbmst walking around
CHORUS
And there’Fre so Cmany Bbpeople -F EveCrybody is Bbhere! I saw the Fgirls Cfrom the offBbice. F I saw those Cguys from the Bbstreet You might Fthink you are lost, but tAhen you will find That Dmgod Bbdraws Fstraight, but Cwith crooked Flines Bb F C
VERSE 2
FI saw a matron in white, her face Alifted to heaven Saw Gmnuns on their knees and Bbmsome who were weeping Saw a mFiddle-agedGm man and Bbgovernment Cclerk, an GmAfromestizo held his Bbrosary up I saw nobFody leave, I didn’At feel fear or terror It Gmfelt like a movie , like the Bbmend of an era FNobody got Gmhurt and nBbobody Cdied I’lGml remember this day, I??Bbm?ll remember this time

VERSE 3
As I Fturned on my walkman, and Aall I could hear - every Gmstation was Marcos, he’s oBbmn every TV An aFppliance store Gmwindow he fills Bbevery Cscreen, then theGm TVs went blank and his Bbface disappeared Then the dFarkness it thickened, There was Ano time for choices GmHalf blind I ran, I was Bbmguided by voices When the Fchoppers tookGm off leaviBbng MalacañCang … We knew itGm was over knewBbm it was the end
CHORUS
And there??F?re soC manyBb people -F Everybody iCs here! Bb I saw the gFirls fCrom thBbe office. F I saw those guys froCm the Bbstreet You might Fthink you are lost, but Athen you will find That Dmgod Bbdraws sFtraight, but Cwith crooked Flines Bb F Yea, gDmod Bbdraws sFtraight, but Cwith crooked Flines
