Chords for HighWomen with Sheryl Crow and Yola “Highwoman” Live at Newport Folk Fest 7/27/19

[C] And [G#m] I'm learning from my youth
_ [F#] From my children [E] I did what I had [F#] to do
My [C#m] family left [G#m] Honduras when [F#] they killed the [E] Sandinistas
[C#m] We followed our [G#m] coyote through [F#] the Gulf of [G#m] Mexico
And [F#] every one of them [E] may suffer, [B] may survive
[E] But I am still [F#] alive
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [G#m] _
I [F#] was a healer, [E] I was gifted [G#m] as a girl
_ _ [F#] I [E] laid hands [F#] upon the world
_ _ [C#m] Someone [G#m] saw me [F#] sleeping, I was naked in [E] the moon's [C#m] sun
I heard a [G#m] witchcraft in the whispers, [F#] I knew my time [E] would come
[G#m] The pastor [F#] told me at [E] the sale [B] of the skull of Jews
[E] That I am a [F#] medicine
_ _ [G#] I _ _ [G#m] _ _
[F#] was a freedom rider, [E] every place I've had to [G#m] wander
_ _ [F#] Virginia [E] in the spring of [F#] 61
I [C#m] _ sat [G#m] down on a greyhound [F#] that was bound for [E] Mississippi
[F#] My mother [G#m] asked me [F#] if that ride was worth my [E] [G#m] life
And when [F#] the shots [E] rang out I never [B] heard a sound
[E] I am still [F#] around, _ _ _ [B] and I'll take that ride again
And [G#m] again, and again, [F#] and again
[E] _ _
[B] I [C#m] _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _ _
_ [G#m] _ _ [F#] was a preacher, but [E] I've brought [G#m] on the world
_ _ [F#] Teaching [E] was unrighteous [F#] for a girl
_ [C#m] In the summer I [G#m] was baptized [F#] in the mighty [E] Colorado
[C#m] In the winter I [G#m] heard the howls [F#] and I knew I [E] had been found
[G#m] In [F#] my Savior's [E] name I [F#] laid my [B] weapons down
[E] But I am [F#] still around
I'm gonna do what I do best
[B] I'm gonna get through
[G#m] We [F#] are high men, and [E] sing a story [G#m] still untold
_ _ [F#] We [E] carry the sons who can [F#] only hope
_ [C#m] We [G#m] are the daughters [F#] of the silent [E] generation
[C#m] Used [G#m] in our hearts to [F#] die alone in [E] foreign nations
[G#m] _ [F#] They returned to [E] us as [B] tiny drops of rain
[E] But we will [F#] still remain
Yeah, we will
_ [B] We'll come back again, and again, [G#m] and again, [F#] and again
[E] _
[G#m] We'll _ [C#m] _ _ [G#m] come back [B] again, and again, and again, [F#] and again
[E] _ _
[G#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [F#] [B] We'll come back again, and again, [G#m] and again, [F#] and again
[E] _ _
[G#m] We'll [C#m] _ _ [F#] come [B] back again, and again, and again, and [F#] again
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _ _
