The Low Anthem - Champion Angel Chords

Band:           Low Anthem
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

                    Bb      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

                    Bb      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

                  Bb    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

                    Bb      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....
