Champion Angel Lyrics

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