Verse 1
Db
She stood in the field
Ab
Gb
Db
with disguise in her eyes
While her black curly hair
Ab
Gb
fought the wind
Db
Ab
Her muscles were tense
Gb
Db
as her hand held the fence
and her breath drew the whole world in
Gb
Db
with her breasts in my brain
Fm
casting myself as the geek
Db
Fm
los ing the strength
Gb
Db
in the tone of my voice
and singing like a bird with no beak
Gb
and the moon melted down
Ab
and the rain ceased its sound
Fm
Gb
and the blackness stood still on the hill
the mountains shivered
Ab
in the cold of the night
Fm
and the fishes drew breath
The trees drew their leaves
Ab
Fm
and their chlora fell here
Gb
And the rivers began to leave
As I mumbled words
Ab
with a slip of my tongue
Don't let her strength make
Db
Ab
Gb
Db
me weep
In society she sat
Ab
Gb
Db
with her feet on her desk
And she laughed when she
Ab
Gb
felt she was done
Db
Ab
And her gaze burned a hole
Gb
in my cultured forehead
Db
Ab
Db
Well, please, that darkened the sun
Fm
And her mouth uttered words
Gb
like I never have heard
Db
Fm
With a force that made its own way
through the night
Db
Fm
Like the sound of a storm
Gb
Db
on the roof of a home
Or a drum beating for its own sake
Gb
When an expert looked at her
Ab
and laid down the facts
Fm
Gb
Her brown eyes never did blink
She would stare down his words
Ab
Fm
till they started to cry
Gb
And history began to sink
The questions she answered
Ab
were not the ones asked
Fm
Because correctness was
And the minds of the people
Ab
all wished the same thought

She walked down the street
Ab
Gb
Db
in a white man's town
Ab
And she planted each step
Db
Ab
She's a hummin' a song
Gb
Db
that was not from this place
Assembled into a personal being
Fm
And knowledge in her eyes
Gb
Db
Knew an unknown life
Fm
Memories I did not understand
Db
Fm
Memories that women
Gb
With dark colored skin
Db
Were unwelcome on American land
Gb
So the tears of her past
Ab
Fm
Now a furious howl
won't pass her by
And the force of her smile
Ab
and the sway of her hips
Fm
Gb
It could change the course of this day
She stood in the town
Ab
and the buildings fell down
Fm
Gb
And she wore her pride like a crown
And my mind felt her body
Ab
and I yelled for a win
Fm
Ab
Don't let her strength make
