What do you want to hear?
For [B] certain folk singers, for certain people [C#] involved with the folk [A#m] idiom, [F] folk music is
a very difficult [Fm] music to sing [C#] because these people, these special people are watched very
closely what they say and [D] how they say it in their songs.
They affect people, they are heard.
They have to be true to what the music says, they have to be true to their feeling about
the music, to the artistry.
There is a person who exemplifies this commitment.
Her name is Joan Baez.
Forget that.
Word is to [A#m] the kitchen come, [C#] and word is to [G#] the hall,
[F#] to [C#] Madam the [A#m] Queen, that's [G#] the word [C#] of all.
[F#] That men [G#]
[C#] [A#m] obey, to the [G#] highest steward [C#] of all.
Arise, arise, [F#] and marry high, [C#]
arise and tell [G#] me,
[F#]
[C#] [A#m] why we babe, [C#] I saw [G#] and heard weep [C#] by thee.
I put him in [A#m] a town [C#] and cast him out [G#] to sea, [F#] that he might
[A#m] swim, but [C#] he'd never [G#] come back [C#] to me.
Oh, tongue, [F#] my [C#] sovereign lead, let your body [G#] be,
[F#]
[C#] save [A#m] mine,
[C#] you'd never [G#] have shamed [C#] me.
Last night there were [A#m] four men,
[C#] tonight there'll be [G#] three.
There [F#] was Mary [C#] and Mary [A#m] Lynn, [D#] [C#] and Mary [G#] Carmichael, [Fm] [F#] and me.
