Mark Knopfler – Precious Voice From Heaven (Guitar)

   Fmaj7                    C/G
Remember your skinny young folkster

          Fmaj7                     C/G
With his guitar and his greasy cap

         Fmaj7                 C/G
Do you still want your ageing hipster

          Fmaj7                  C/G
With his records and his trilby hat?

       C                          Em
Angel heart, it's time to let go

              F                      C    C
It's so much harder to live in this town

           C/B            Am           Am/G
Fact of it is I'm forty-two years old

         F                  G
And the venues are closing down

      C                       Em
Folk rock's just beat up old names

           F                        C
I've been holding out as long as I can

        C         C/B           Am           Am/G
It's a new tech crowd, it's a property game

         F                   G
And I'd need to be a richer man

         F                              C
Ah, but you have a precious voice from heaven

  F           G       Am    F  F
A once in a blue moon ecstasy

                     C         F
You could sing the phone book

                       C         F
If there was still a phone book

                     C
You could sing the phone book

F                 G          C
It would sound beautiful to me

     C                      Em
Nowadays when I get up and sing

            F                          C    C
They'll be talking like I'm not even there

          C/B             Am         Am/G
Now it appears I'm maybe not their thing

         F                                G
That's okay though it's not that I don't care

              C                       Em
With all the rest of the semi-fixed abodes

            F                               C      C
With their colours and their songs and their soul

           C/B       Am         Am/G
I'd be long gone down the road

            F                      G
If not for you, girl and rent control

         F                              C
Ah, but you have a precious voice from heaven

  F           G       Am    F  F
A once in a blue moon ecstasy

                     C         F
You could sing the phone book

                       C         F
If there was still a phone book

                     C
You could sing the phone book

F                 G          C
It would sound beautiful to me

                     C         F
You could sing the phone book

                       C         F
If there was still a phone book

                     C
You could sing the phone book

F                 G          C
It would sound beautiful to me

                                  G
The cool kids who make your town

                  C           C
Gotta help them stick around

                              G
You wanna keep your city hip

                        C
Or all the kids will desert the ship
