A song where I especially like the lyrics, with an interesting rhythm.
As usual ear-transcribed, I think the song is actually higher than my chords so I
tried with Capo and everything but didn't find out yet.
Other ideas always welcome.
Joan
Vese 1:
AmC
I am as god made me
AmD
I have no desire
AmG
For a mouth at my breast
AmD
Or a pot on the fire
AmC
I heed the higher voices,
AmD
I go where I'm sent
AmGAmD
To mow down the men who refuse to repent
C
I'm a scythe
AmG
In a field full of briars
Chorus:
Am
And they won't call me mother
C
Or sister or wife
D
They will know me or not
G
by the strenght of my life
CAm
I will burn with a light of my own
CG
They'll know me as Joan
Verse 2:
AmC
The courage of Catherine,
AmD
The flames of the forge,
AmG
The Sword of St. Michael,
AmD
The blood of St. George,
AmC
I take what I'm given,
AmD
I follow my truth,
AmGAmD
I gladly abandon the bloom of my youth,
C
I'm the lashing,
AmG
that falls from the scourge.
Last verse and chorus the same.
