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.....
[C]Throw up your voice but not your mind
Whil[F]e the agents of change go monopolise[C]
Their colo[Am]urs and their faces are just shades of [Dm]the same
All lost in the game[C]
[C]And we don?t need no personal saviours here
Just a w[F]arm hearth and water. It's biological[C]
No pos[Am]turing mannequin man or woman[Dm]
Shall receive my hand[C]
[C]Among all you angels is a champion angel
Amongst[F] all you devils there's a free soul
Up f[Am]rom the disenfranchised the engine cries[Dm]
Up from the circle t[A#]here's a[F] hole[C]
Yeah there?s a hole, yeah there's a hole....
Harmonica....
[C]The child insubordinate disrupts the pecking order
So go[F] marry young if you can[C]
While the weave [Am]of the rug and the cut of the throne[Dm]
Testify before the ocean?s open hand[C]
[C]Now I promise you won't promise you are not alone
But why[F] is it I alone promise this[C]
Well den[Am]y all the forces that would hurry men[Dm]
If you can, yeah, if you can[C]
[C]Among all you angels is a champion angel
Amongst[F] all you devils there?s a free soul
Up f[Am]rom the disenfranchised the engine cries[Dm]
Up from the circle t[A#]here?s a[F] 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....
[C]Well we?ve come now to a fracture in the road
[F]Here time has taken her toll
[Am]The endless freezing and the thawing of the [Dm]heart
Will eventually divide us apart[C]
Start bringing it up again.....
[C]Well what?s that you found in the pocket of your coat?
[F]Looks like a small sentiment she wrote
Don?t be m[Am]y personal saviour I would not be saved[Dm]
I?ll choose to wal[A#]k alon[F]e.[C]
[C]Among all you angels is a champion angel
Amongst[F] all you devils there?s a free soul
Up f[Am]rom the disenfranchised the engine cries[Dm]
Up from the circle t[A#]here?s a[F] 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....
