David Knopfler - If God Could Make The Angels


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: F C  F C  G C F C  F C F C  G C F

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

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


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


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


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


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


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


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