Indigo Girls - Jonas & Ezekiel chords
Start Jamming...
[B] I wrote this one when I was riding a bicycle up in Vermont.
Um, you know, I wrote the words in my head and then got home and wrote it.
[Am]
[C] [Am]
I left my anger in a river on Highway 5, New Hampshire, Vermont, [C] oughta buy
[Am] College farms, hook gaps, and fallen [C] rocks, [Am] horses in the woods and the mountaintops
I used to search for reservations [C] and native lands
[Am] Before I realized, everywhere I stand
There have been tribal feats running wild as fire
And past life's sister of my [Em] desire
[F] Jonas and [G] Ezekiel, hear me [Em] now
[C] Steady now and [F] don't come out
I'm not ready for the [G] dead to show its
[C] face
Whose [E] angel [F] are you [E] anyway?
[Em] Anyway
[Am] [C]
[Am] [C] [Am] When I was young, my people [C] taught me well
[Am] Give back what you take or [C] you'll go to hell
[E] It's not [Am] the devil's [C] land, you know it's not that [Am] kind
Every devil I meet becomes a [C] friend of mine
[Am] Every devil I meet [C] is an angel in disguise
[F] Jonas and Ezekiel, [G] hear me now
[C] Steady now and [F] don't come out
I'm not ready for the [G] dead to show its [C] face
Whose turn is [F] it anyway?
[E] [Am] Anyway
[C]
[E]
[Am] [E]
[Em]
White tongue, [G] rope, spear
[Em] Be still, my dear, [Am] a bullet in the head
Now [C] he's dead, a [Am] friend of a friend
[C] Someone said he was an activist with a [C] very short life
[Am] I think there's a lesson here, he died without a fight
In the war over land where the [C] world began
[Am] Prophecy says [C] it's where the world will end
Oh, [Am] there's a tumor growing in our own backyard
Fear in our heads, [C] fear in our hearts
[Am] Prophets in the graveyards, [F] Jonas and Ezekiel
[G] Hear me now, [C]
steady now and [F] don't come out
I'm not ready for the [G] dead to show its face
Whose angel [F] are you anyway?
Jonas and [G] Ezekiel, hear me now
[C] Steady now, I fear [F] you'll go stoop out
I'm not ready for the dead to show its face
[C] Whose [E] angel are [C] you anyway?
[E] I [Am] said there's prophets in the [C] graveyards and the bars
[Am] Prophets in the [C] graveyards and the [Am] bars
[Bb]
