F A
As I left my house, as I walked out today
Gm Bbm
Thought I walked out my marriage. Thought I walked out on grace
F Gm Bb C
As the dawn it was breaking at the end of the street
Gm Bb
I didn't know what would happen, didn't know what I'd see
F A
I saw two transit buses blocked the road on our side
Gm Bbm
Saw a couple of joggers who chanced to run by
F `Gm Bb C
Saw some soldiers come out and they mixed with the crowd
Gm Bbm
Tears came to my eyes we’re just walking around
CHORUS
F C Bb F C Bb
And there’re so many people - Everybody is here!
F C Bb F
I saw the girls from the office.
C Bb
I saw those guys from the street
F A
You might think you are lost, but then you will find
Dm Bb F C F Bb F C
That god draws straight, but with crooked lines
VERSE 2
F A
I saw a matron in white, her face lifted to heaven
Gm Bbm
Saw nuns on their knees and some who were weeping
F Gm Bb C
Saw a middle-aged man and government clerk,
Gm Bb
an Afromestizo held his rosary up
F A
I saw nobody leave, I didn’t feel fear or terror
Gm Bbm
It felt like a movie , like the end of an era
F Gm Bb C
Nobody got hurt and nobody died
Gm Bbm
I’ll remember this day, I’ll remember this time
CHORUS
F C Bb F C Bb
And there’re so many people - Everybody is here!
F C Bb F
I saw the girls from the office.
C Bb
I saw those guys from the street
F A
You might think you are lost, but then you will find
Dm Bb F C F Bb F C
That god draws straight, but with crooked lines
VERSE 3
F A
As I turned on my walkman, and all I could hear -
Gm Bbm
every station was Marcos, he’s on every TV
F Gm Bb C
An appliance store window he fills every screen,
Gm Bb
then the TVs went blank and his face disappeared
F
Then the darkness it thickened,
A
There was no time for choices
Gm Bbm
Half blind I ran, I was guided by voices
F Gm Bb C
When the choppers took off leaving Malacañang …
Gm Bbm
We knew it was over knew it was the end
CHORUS
F C Bb F C Bb
And there’re so many people - Everybody is here!
F C Bb F
I saw the girls from the office.
C Bb
I saw those guys from the street
F A
You might think you are lost, but then you will find
Dm Bb F C F Bb F
That god draws straight, but with crooked lines
Dm Bb F C F
Yea, god draws straight, but with crooked lines
