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!
Lyrics from http://www.lyricsmania.com/god_draws_straight_lyrics_david_byrne_and_fatboy_slim.html
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
CHORUS
And there’rFe soC manyBb people -F EvCerybody isBb here!
I saw the Fgirls Cfrom the offBbice. F
I saw thoseC guys from the Bbstreet
You might Fthink you are lost, but Athen you will find
That Dmgod drBbaws straFight, but Cwith crooked FlineBbs F C
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
