Angelstrike by Jim Bob
Angelstrike
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Am G
Outside a cathedral near the axis of evil they march
Am G
Their picket line forming the shape of a proscenium arch
F E
They switched off their halos and started working to rule
[Verse 2]
Am G
All the cold-blooded killers had the keys to the city today
Am G
They came for our children and nobody stood in their way
F E
I turned on the TV to see what the world had to say
[Verse 3]
Am G
A spokesman for the angels read a list of demands to the press
Am G
While a schoolboy took a bus ride with explosives gaffer-taped to his chest
F E
No kissing, no hugging, no tender and loving caress
[Verse 4]
Am G
The management, the unions and the mediators sat down for talks
Am G
The bus bomb exploded as the fairies came out in support
F E
The newspapers headlined the story in bold black and white
[Chorus]
Am G
Angelstrike, angelstrike
F
There's no-one to check you
E
To guard or protect you tonight
[Verse 5]
Am G
Ignoring the curfew, the looters and rioters ran
Am G
Through the biggest electrical power cut since records began
F E
All the music we heard sounded flat, and the words didn't scan
[Verse 6]
Am G
On the day that the heavenly choir never sang
Am G
Churches available for hire, but the bells never rang
F E
No weddings, no christenings, no birthdays, no discos nor bands
[Verse 7]
Am G
All the paedophiles walked from the chatrooms out onto the streets
F E
Where God-fearing rednecks with scissors cut holes into sheets
Am G
The day of celestial action could go on for weeks
[Verse 8]
F
More burning and looting, raping, shooting
E
Earthquakes and hurricanes, pestilence and plague
[Chorus]
Am G
Angelstrike, angelstrike
F
There's no one to check you
E
To guard or protect you tonight
[Bridge]
Em D F E
[Verse 8]
Am G
The fire brigade won't come and rescue your cat from a tree
F E
The lifeboat men never came back, they were all lost at sea
Am G
The angels are just making a stand for you and for me
F
All huddled around a fire in a can
E
With a flask of hot sugary tea
[Chorus]
Am G
Angelstrike, angelstrike
F
There's no one to check you
E
To guard or protect you tonight
(repeat and ad-lib chorus to end)
