From The Mouth Of Gabriel

Biography:

Sufjan Stevens (Born July 1, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Petoskey, Michigan. He is known for his lyrically focused and instrumentally rich songs that often relate to faith and family. He has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States. He is considered part of the folk revival through indie pop, but his influences are very broad, including experimental electronic music, the jazz of Vince Guaraldi, and the academic minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass.

ARTIST: Sufjan Stevens
ALBUM: All Delighted People EP
SONG: From the Mouth of Gabriel

I suggest playing around with different strumming/picking styles to
differentiate the various sections of the song. The actual track mixes up
instrumentation and dynamics, so just listen to it to get a feel for which
sections should be loud and which soft, etc.

Enjoy!

Capo on 1st Fret. All chords relative to capo.

Desperate measures lead to death

From the mouth of Gabriel

Gm
Who died in his sleep when the world

F D
was a very big mess, a very big mess;

F E
He saw too much

D G C F
From now on I will look away from every accident

E
That may or may not come my way

Am G
Saw you were talking

C
up above the Aleph room

G
Masquerading as a loom

Am G
Both of us saw things

C
No one else would see as well

G
From the mouth of Gabriel

C
No one else would hear as well

G
From the mouth of Gabriel

From the mouth of Gabriel

From the mouth of Gabriel

E
From the mouth of Gabriel

A D G C
Don't be so sure of what you feel (it might as well be trouble)

A D G C
From now on just let the universe be your shelter from the enemy

A Bm D E

A Bm
Your face has changed

D E A
I hardly know who you are this time

Bm
And what a mess

D E
I've made of you

A Bm D E
You probably would but I won't let you run away

A Bm D E A/C#
You probably should but I won't let you run away this time

A/B A A/G# A/F# A/E
Don't be afraid of loneliness some refugee beside itself

A/F# A/G#
Instead of what you've got

I hardly know who you are this time

E D E
And when I came into your room

A
You tried to jump

Bm E A
Now I know this is strange to hear from the mouth of God

D E A
It was something like a scene from mars

Bm E A
In a struggle between loves and lies

D E A
The angel kept his face covered for to keep his word

Bm E A
And while I spoke something left from my life

D
Forget about the past

E A
Be at rest I'll make things right

Bm E A
And while I held you at best you nearly died

D
Forget about the past

E F#m
And I'll try to make things right
