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
F C
While the agents of change go monopolise
Am Dm
Their colours and their faces are just shades of the same
C
All lost in the game
C
And we don’t need no personal saviours here
F C
Just a warm hearth and water. It's biological
Am Dm
No posturing mannequin man or woman
C
Shall receive my hand
C
Among all you angels is a champion angel
F
Amongst all you devils there's a free soul
Am Dm
Up from the disenfranchised the engine cries
A# F C
Up from the circle there's a hole
Yeah there’s a hole, yeah there's a hole....
Harmonica....
C
The child insubordinate disrupts the pecking order
F C
So go marry young if you can
Am Dm
While the weave of the rug and the cut of the throne
C
Testify before the ocean’s open hand
C
Now I promise you won't promise you are not alone
F C
But why is it I alone promise this
Am Dm
Well deny all the forces that would hurry men
C
If you can, yeah, if you can
C
Among all you angels is a champion angel
F
Amongst all you devils there’s a free soul
Am Dm
Up from the disenfranchised the engine cries
A# F C
Up from the circle there’s a hole
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 Dm
The endless freezing and the thawing of the heart
C
Will eventually divide us apart
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
Am Dm
Don’t be my personal saviour I would not be saved
A# F C
I’ll choose to walk alone.
C
Among all you angels is a champion angel
F
Amongst all you devils there’s a free soul
Am Dm
Up from the disenfranchised the engine cries
A# F C
Up from the circle there’s a hole
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....
