God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]God is alive
Magic is afoot
God is alive
Magic is afoot
God is afoot
Magic is alive
Alive is afoot
Magic never died
[F]God never sickened

[Verse 2]
Many poor men lied
Many sick men lied
Magic never weakened
Magic never hid
Magic always ruled
God is afoot
God [C]never died

[Verse 3]
God was [C]ruler
Though his funeral lengthened
[F]Though his mourners thickened
Magic never fled
Though his shrouds were hoisted
The naked God did live
[Dm]Though his words were twisted
The naked Magic thrived
Though his death was published
Round and round the world
The [C]heart did not believe

[Verse 4]
Many hurt men [C]wondered
Many struck men bled
Magic [F]never faltered

[Verse 5]
Magic always led
[F]Many stones were rolled
But [Dm]God would not lie down
[Bb]Many wild men lied
[Bbm]Many fat men listened
[Dm]Though they offered stones
[G]Ma gic still was fed
[C]Though they locked their coffers
God was always served
[F]Ma gic is afoot

[Verse 6]
[F]
God rules
Alive is afoot
Alive is in command

[Verse 7]
Many weak men [F]hungered
Many strong men thrived
[C]Though they boasted solitude
God was at their side
[F]Nor the dreamer in his cell
Nor the captain on the hill
Magic is alive
Though his death was pardoned
Round and round the world
The [C]heart did not believe
[G]Though laws

[Verse 8]
[Am]were carved in marble
They could not shelter men
[Dm]Though altars built in
parliaments
They could not order men
Po[Bb]lice arres[Bbm]ted Magic
And Magic went with them
[C]For Magic loves the hun[F]gry
But [Dm]Ma gic would not

[Verse 9]
tarry
It moves from arm to arm
It [Bb]would not stay with them
[G]Magic is afoot
It cannot come to harm
It rests in an empty palm
It spawns in an empty mind
But Magic is no instrument
Ma[C]gic is the end

[Verse 10]
Many men drove [C]Magic
But Magic stayed behind
[Am]Many strong men lied
They only passed through Magic
And out the other side
[Dm]Many weak men lied
They came to God in secret
And though they left him nourished
They would not say who healed
Though [Bb]mountains danced before them
They said that God was
dead
[G]Though his shrouds were hoisted
The naked God did live
[Dm]This I mean to whisper to my mind

[Verse 11]
This I mean to laugh with in my mind
This I mean my mind to serve 'til
Service is but Magic
Moving through the world
And mind itself is Magic
Coursing through the flesh
And flesh itself is Magic
Dancing on a clock
And time itself the magic length of
[C]God
