Chords for Women 'Cross The River - Linda Ronstadt

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
All the women cross the river [E] carry water from the well at [B] break of day
_ _ And _ they talk to one another
[E] God only knows what they [B] might say _ _ _ _ _
[E] You might get an education
After years of dedication you might finally get a glimpse of what is right
And what [B] is wrong _ _ _ _ _
But the women cross the river [F#] well, they knew [B] that all along _ _ _ _ _
Oh the women cross the river [E] work with tools that are ancient and [B] handmade _ _ _ _ _
And they plow their fields in perfect [E] rows and then they rest beneath [B] the shade _ _ _ _ _
[E] Now we have learned to build out of concrete out of steel and our buildings stand a thousand years with them
Even they are [B] bound to fall _ _ _ _
But the women cross the river
[F#] Never learn to [B] build a wall _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh the women cross the river are [E] as gentle as a dew [B] upon the ground _ _ _ _ _
I love to hear them laughing in [E] the rain when it makes that [B] perfect sound
_ _ _ _ Now [E] a soldier with a gun and a battle to be won might kill you with a bullet and you never even know the [B] reason why
_ _ _ But the women cross the river [F#] they can kill you with [B] their eyes
_ _ _ Oh the women cross the river [F#] they can kill you with their eyes _ _ _ _ _
