[G] [F]
[Bb] [F] We were young [Gm] girls, we did this every [Cm] morning of [Bb] our lives.
[F]
Classroom rang with children's voices.
Under [Bb] teachers' watchful eyes, [F] we learned about the world around us.
At our [Cm] desks and at dinner [Bb] time, [F]
reminded of the starting children.
Cleaned our [Bb] plates with guilty [Gm] minds.
Stolen [F] along, [Bb]
never [F] heard the severe [Cm] cries.
We were removed [Gm] from all those lives, we raised each [F] other alone.
When I was ten, my father held me on his [C] shoulders above the crowd.
[F]
To see a train draped in mourning pass [Bb] slowly through our town.
[F]
His widow kneeled with all their children at the [C] sacred ground.
[D] The TV [F] glowed, that long hot summer, with all the [C] cities burning [A] down.
[C] Stolen along, [F] flew out beneath our bicycle [Cm] tires.
[D] We were removed from all the farms, we raised each [F] other alone.
[Cm] [F]
And now we [G] drink our [Bb] coffee on [F] the run, we climb that ladder rung [Fm] by rung.
[G] We are the [Gm] daughters and the sons, but here's the [F] line it's missing.
Starting [A] children have been replaced [F] by souls out [C] on the [Bb] streets.
We [Fm] give a dollar [G]
and we [F] pass and hope our eyes are [Bb] on you.
[F] We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner [Cm]
sweet.
[C] We [F] kiss your ass, [Cm] we make you [F] hold and we doctor [Dm] the receipt.
[F] [Cm] [F] Songs in the road, [Bb] fly out [F] from beneath our [Cm] wheels.
Another [Gm] day, another deal, [Bb] before we get [F] back home.
[G] [F] Songs in the road, [Bb] leave a mark once they [Cm] came.
A thousand [F]
points of [D] light are shaded, [Bb] [F] I don't know.
[Cm]
In [F] the boat.
