Ezra Furman – God Lifts Up The Lowly (Guitar Acoustic)

      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?"

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

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

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

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
