[G#] For my children [E] I did what I [F#] had to do
[C#m] My family [G#m] left Honduras [F#] when they killed the [B] Sandinistas
[C#m] They followed our [G#m] coyote [F#] through the dust of [C#] Mexico
[G#m] And [F#] every one of them [B] except for [B] me survived
[E] But I am [F#] still alive
[G#m] I [F#] was a healer
I was gifted [G#m] as a girl
[F#] I [E] laid hands upon [F#] the world
[G#] Someone saw [G#m] me sleeping
[F#] Woke in [B] the noon sun
I learned we're [G#m] trapped in the whispers
[F#] But I knew my time had [G#m] come
The [F#] bastard told [B] me
The same old God's views
That I am a living soul

[E]
[F#] Virginia in the spring of 61
I [C#m] sacked down [G#m] the gray half
That [F#] was bound for [E] Mississippi
[C#] My [G#m] mother asked me if [F#] that ride
Was worth [E] my life
When [C#] the shots rang out I knew [B] that's her
[E] But I am [F#] still around
And I'll take that [B] ride again
[D#m] And again [G#m] and again [F#] and again
And again and [E] again
[B] And again and [C#m]

[F#] The teaching [E] was unrighteous [F#] for a girl
[C#m] In the summer [G#m] I was baptized
[F#] In the Mike [C#] O'Brien
[C#m] In the winter [G#m] I heard the howls
And I knew I [B] had been found
[G#m] And [F#] in my savior's name
I laid my [B] weapons down
[E] But I am [F#] still around
[G#m] [F#] We're the howlin'
[E] Sing a story still [G#m] untold
[F#] We [E] carry the sun dipping [F#] on the earth
[C#] We [G#m] are the daughters [F#] of the silent [E] generation
[C#m] [G#m] Used in our hearts to [F#] die
Alone with [E] foreign nations
[G#m] [F#] They return to [E] us as tiny [B] drops of rain
But we will [F#] still remain
Yeah, we will
We'll [B] come back again
