Band: Low Anthem
Album: Oh My God, Charlie Darwin
Track: Champion Angel
Standard tuning
Starts off with single bass strings for chords of A# and C slowly introducing more
treble strings until full chords are being played. Linger on the C.....
CThrow up your voice but not your mind
WhilFe the agents of change go monopolise C
Their coloAmurs and their faces are just shades of Dmthe same
All lost in the game C
CAnd we don’t need no personal saviours here
Just a wFarm hearth and water. It's biological C
No posAmturing mannequin man or woman Dm
Shall receive my hand C
CAmong all you angels is a champion angel
AmongstF all you devils there's a free soul
Up fAmrom the disenfranchised the engine cries Dm
Up from the circle tA#here's aF hole C
Yeah there’s a hole, yeah there's a hole....
Harmonica....
CThe child insubordinate disrupts the pecking order
So goF marry young if you can C
While the weave Amof the rug and the cut of the throne Dm
Testify before the ocean’s open hand C
CNow I promise you won't promise you are not alone
But whyF is it I alone promise this C
Well denAmy all the forces that would hurry men Dm
If you can, yeah, if you can C
CAmong all you angels is a champion angel
AmongstF all you devils there’s a free soul
Up fAmrom the disenfranchised the engine cries Dm
Up from the circle tA#here’sF a hole C
Yeah there’s a hole, yeah there’s a hole....
Harmonica....improv using all chords.....
Calm things down for the start of this next verse....
CWell we’ve come now to a fracture in the road
FHere time has taken her toll
AmThe endless freezing and the thawing of the Dmheart
Will eventually divide us apart C
Start bringing it up again.....
CWell what’s that you found in the pocket of your coat?
FLooks like a small sentiment she wrote
Don’t beAm my personal saviour I would not be saved Dm
I’ll choose to wA#alk alFone. C
CAmong all you angels is a champion angel
AmongstF all you devils there’s a free soul
Up fAmrom the disenfranchised the engine cries Dm
Up from the circle tA#here’sF a hole C
Yeah there’s a hole, yeah there’s a hole....
Harmonica.....to end.....
This is a top tune, one of the heavier ones on a superb album and I haven’t done
it justice by just offering what I think the chords are, hence novice difficulty.
You might want to invite a couple of mates around to do a drum and bass
accompaniment. Not that kind of drum and bass....
