God Lifts Up The Lowly

	  		
Tuning: D G C G# A D 

Verse 
      E                     Am 
Some angels will carry you homeward 
      E                      Am 
Other angels you don't wanna meet 
      E                 E7 
My guardian angel's got wings of tinfoil 
    A*                         E 
And cigarettes found in the street 
   E                       Am 
My angel's got eyes like a housing project 
E                    Am 
He was born inside a guitar 
     E                     E7 
And I can't forget his red lips and eyelashes 
      A*                          B* 
And his "How'd we end up where we are?" 


Pre-Chorus 
C#m*             A* 
There's nothing doing on the main streets 
C#m*             A* 
Let's take the alley for the evening 
C#m*       A*                        B* 
And we're driving in a car that won't slow down 
                           A* 
Making ourselves up in the rear view mirror 

                        F#7 
I know God lifts up the lowly 
A*                      F#7 
I know God lifts up the lowly 
A* 


Verse 
E                               Am 
We're searching the trunk every morning 
E                         Am 
We tore out a tracking device 
E                              E7 
And I pray for plagues to come down on this Egypt 
A*                             E 
And I dream of blood, fire and lice 
E                         Am 
I wake with my coat for a blanket 
E                         Am 
My angel's been up for an hour 
E                          E7 
I've looked deep into this frail human body 
A*                         B* 
And I know that I carry a power 

Pre-Chorus 
C#m*        A* 
We'll never make it on the main streets 
C#m*             A* 
They'll force us back into the alley ways 
C#m*      A*                    B* 
And we're re-arranging furniture 
                    A* 
In a burning house 

                        F#7 
I know God lifts up the lowly 
A*                      F#7 
I know God lifts up the lowly
 

Outro 
E                     Am 
Ram v'nisa, gadol v'nora 
E                     Am 
Mashpil ge'im u'magbiha shfalim 
E                     Am 
Motzi asirim u'podeh anavim 
E                     Am 
V'ozer dalim 
E                     Am 
V'oneh l'amo b'et shavam eilav
