[Intro] Dsus D Dsus D [Verse 1]
         Dsus                                   D
The sun ablaze as Maria's foot touches the sand

                                      Dsus
On northern land, as human contraband

Dsus
She got her name passed down to the Boss

          G                              F           Dsus  D
Now she’s stuck on a truckbed, clutching her cross

       Dsus
Yanqui guns, blood debts on the loans

D
Smoldering fields with rape, rubble, and bones

G
Graves hidden, trapped in visions of war

             F        N.C.
She prays to nothing, no one, nobody no more
[Chorus]
D C D  C A C  A G A F  G F G  F
                              Tear away at the mask

D C D  C A C  A G A F  G F G  N.C.
                              Oh, tear away at the mask
[Intro] Dsus D Dsus D [Verse 2]
                    Dsus
And now she's got a quota, the needle and thread crucifixion

D
Sold and shipped across the new line of Mason Dixon

Dsus
Rippin' through denim, the point an inch from her vein

    G                       F                         Dsus
The foreman approaches, his steps pound in her brain

    D
His steps pound in her brain

         Dsus
Her arms jerks, the sisters gather ’round her and scream

      D
As if in a dream, eyes on the crimson stream

G
Numb as her wrists spit blood to the floor

     F        N.C.
I am nothing, no one, nobody no more
[Chorus]
D C D  C A C  A G A F  G F G        F
                              Tear away at the mask

D C D  C A C  A G A F  G F G  F
                              Tear away at the mask

D C D  C A C  A G A F  G F G        F
                              Tear away at the mask

D C D  C A C  A G A F  G F G             F
                              Ooh, tear away at the mask
[Bridge]
D             F
No minute to rest

   G              D
No moment to pray

D             F
No minute to rest

   G              D
No moment to pray

D             F
No minute to rest

    G            D
It eclipses her day

       D              F
Just a moment to pray

       G              D
Just a moment to pray

D             F
No minute to rest

   G              D
No moment to pray

D             F
No minute to rest

   G              D
No moment to pray

D             F
No minute to rest

    G            D
It eclipses her day

       D              F
Just a moment to pray

       G              D
Just a moment to pray
