God Draws Straight
From the Musical - Here Lies Love
I don't think these are the official chord but I think it's close enough to what I can
hear. I love this song, it comes at the end of the
musical and is based on the actual words of fighters during The People Power Revolution
in 1986. The musical is based on the life of Imelda Marcos the former widow of former
Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos.
Enjoy!
Lyrics from http://www.lyricsmania.com/god_draws_straight_lyrics_david_byrne_and_fatboy_slim.html
F A
As I left my house, as I walked out today
Gm Bbm
Thought I walked out my marriage. Thought I walked out on grace
F Gm Bb C
As the dawn it was breaking at the end of the street
Gm Bb
I didn't know what would happen, didn't know what I'd see
F A
I saw two transit buses blocked the road on our side
Gm Bbm
Saw a couple of joggers who chanced to run by
F `Gm Bb C
Saw some soldiers come out and they mixed with the crowd
Gm Bbm
Tears came to my eyes we’re just walking around
CHORUS
F C Bb F C Bb
And there’re so many people - Everybody is here!
F C Bb F
I saw the girls from the office.
C Bb
I saw those guys from the street
F A
You might think you are lost, but then you will find
Dm Bb F C F Bb F C
That god draws straight, but with crooked lines
VERSE 2
F A
I saw a matron in white, her face lifted to heaven
Gm Bbm
Saw nuns on their knees and some who were weeping
F Gm Bb C
Saw a middle-aged man and government clerk,
Gm Bb
an Afromestizo held his rosary up
F A
I saw nobody leave, I didn’t feel fear or terror
Gm Bbm
It felt like a movie , like the end of an era
F Gm Bb C
Nobody got hurt and nobody died
Gm Bbm
I’ll remember this day, I’ll remember this time
CHORUS
F C Bb F C Bb
And there’re so many people - Everybody is here!
F C Bb F
I saw the girls from the office.
C Bb
I saw those guys from the street
F A
You might think you are lost, but then you will find
Dm Bb F C F Bb F C
That god draws straight, but with crooked lines
VERSE 3
F A
As I turned on my walkman, and all I could hear -
Gm Bbm
every station was Marcos, he’s on every TV
F Gm Bb C
An appliance store window he fills every screen,
Gm Bb
then the TVs went blank and his face disappeared
F
Then the darkness it thickened,
A
There was no time for choices
Gm Bbm
Half blind I ran, I was guided by voices
F Gm Bb C
When the choppers took off leaving Malacañang …
Gm Bbm
We knew it was over knew it was the end
CHORUS
F C Bb F C Bb
And there’re so many people - Everybody is here!
F C Bb F
I saw the girls from the office.
C Bb
I saw those guys from the street
F A
You might think you are lost, but then you will find
Dm Bb F C F Bb F
That god draws straight, but with crooked lines
Dm Bb F C F
Yea, god draws straight, but with crooked lines
