The Low Anthem (Live at WFUV)
Capo III
G Gsus4 G 2x
[Em]God [G]cage the [C]songbird
Be[G]fore the [Em]feathers run [D]brown
[Em]God [G]bar the [C]windows
That [Em]we may though [D]hollow be [G]sound
And this [Em]island shall be [C]shackled to her [G]waters
[Em]Here we vow [C]never to [D]change
[Em]Here we will [C]stand at last for [G]something
With [Em]no de[D]sire to pre[G]tend
[Em]Send up our [C]prayers to gilded [G]idols
With their [Em]names etched in [C]heartwood of [D]palm
And [Em]scatter the [C]ashes of the [G]contracts
Their [Em]freedom so [D]hollow a [G]song
[Em]God [G]cage the [C]songbird
Be[G]fore the [Em]feathers run [D]brown
[Em]God [G]bar the [C]windows
That [Em]we may though [D]hollow be [G]sound
[Em] [G] [C] [G] [Em] [D] [Em] [G] [C] [Em] [D] [G]
Now the [Em]street lamp will be [C]tethered to her [G]station
As the [Em]poor man is [C]tethered to the [D]flesh
As a [Em]wise man will be [C]tethered to his [G]wisdom
As the [Em]mother is [D]tethered to her [G]crèche
Was your [Em]hunger your [C]awareness of sal[G]vation
As your [Em]chances go [C]slipping to the [D]past
Are you [Em]tortured by the [C]changing of the [G]seasons?
And [Em]each grain of [D]sand in the [G]glass
[Em]God [G]cage the [C]songbird
Be[G]fore the [Em]feathers run [D]brown
[Em]God [G]bar the [C]windows
That [Em]we may though [D]hollow be [G]sound
[Em]God [G]cage the [C]songbird
Be[G]fore the [Em]feathers run [D]brown
[Em]God [G]bar the [C]windows
That [Em]we may though [D]hollow be [G]sound
