David Knopfler - If God Could Make The Angels


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: FF C majorC FF C majorC G+G C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC G+G C majorC FF

          C majorC   FF
So many songs about angels
       C majorC          G+G    FF
It seems god makes them with his hands
        C majorC        FF   C majorC FF
So I guess this mess of falling angels
     C majorC      G+G  C majorC G+G
Must fit his immortal plan

            FF   C majorC DmDm FF
How every flower should open
     C majorC          G+G
How every crippled bird should fly
       FF  C majorC
And a cry of love from the deepest darkest ocean
FF          C majorC        G+G
Flies up through his brightest broken sky


           FF   C majorC  G+G FF
But I can't point no finger
       C majorC        G+G
You can't do nothing more to me, see
         FF   C majorC
Here's my broken hammer
       FF C majorC   FF
I can't play A-flat
       C majorC        G+G
But I'm still playing in that key


             FF   C majorC FF
And at the holy saint's asylum
       C majorC        G+G
There's this patron for lost souls
               FF   C majorC
Who've perjured grail for the money
     FF        C majorC
Mammon's kingdom and his power
FF       C majorC        G+G
All is painted glory, yeah, but glory holds a key

            FF    C majorC
And here's this broken hammer
   FF      C majorC
Can't fix this old piano
FF          C majorC       G+G
Seems sometimes that you can't get enough of me
FF  C majorC  FF C majorC FF
Hurting
    C majorC        G+G
As the hammer hits the key


              FF C majorC   FF C majorC FF
But if god could make them angels
              G+G   FF
With only mud and dust and sand
    C majorC         FF   C majorC FF
Making blood from living water
    C majorC       G+G   FF
Man, I think I'd understand


      C majorC         FF   C majorC FF
He'd be in every flower that opens
      C majorC          G+G
And in the first new breath of spring
         FF      C majorC
In the bird song high in the sky
    FF        C majorC
Sailing clear across the oceans
   FF         C majorC        G+G
Some hear his voice in every bell that rings


       C majorC        FF   C majorC  FF
They say it's god who made the angels
    C majorC     G+G   FF
From infinity and sand
    C majorC        FF
But if Heaven made the angels
G+G   FF     C majorC   FF
Who in Hell made man?
          C majorC  FF
If god could make angels
          C majorC   G+G
If god could make angels
         C majorC
Why in hell make man?
