JONAS & EZEKIAL
As recorded by the Indigo Girls
(From the 1992 Album RITES OF PASSAGE)
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am I left my anger in a river running Highway 5 Am New Hampshire, Vermont, bordered by Am College farms, hubcaps, falling rocks Am Voices in the woods and the mountaintops
[Verse 2]
Am I used to search for reservations and native lands Am Before I realized everywhere I stand Am There have been tribal feet running wild as fire Am Some past life sister of my desire
[Chorus]
F G Jonas and Ezekiel hear me now C F Steady now and don't come out G I'm not ready for the dead to show its face C F E7 Whose turn is it anyway? Am C Am C Anyway
[Verse 3]
Am Now when I was young my people taught me well Am Give back what you take or you'll go to hell Am It's not the devil's land, you know it's not that kind Am Every devil I meet becomes a friend of mine Am Every devil I meet is an angel in disguise
[Chorus]
F G Jonas and Ezekiel hear me now C F Steady now and don't come out G I'm not ready for the dead to show its face C F E7 Whose angel are you anyway?
[Post-Chorus]
Am C Ha, ha, ha, ha Am C Em Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
[Guitar Solo]
Am C Em
[Bridge]
Am C G White, chain, rope, fear G (Hush my darling) E7 Em Be still my dear
[Verse 4]
Am A bullet in the head, now he's dead Am A friend of a friend, someone said Am He was an activist with a very short life Am I think there's a lesson here—he died without a fight
[Verse 5]
Am In the war over land where the world began Am Prophecies say it's where the world will end Am But there's a tremor growing in our own backyard Am Fear in our heads, fear in our hearts Am Prophets in the graveyard
[Chorus]
F G Jonas and Ezekiel hear me now C F Steady now and don't come out G I'm not ready for the dead to show its face C F Whose turn is it anyway? G Jonas, Ezekiel hear me now C F Steady now, I feel your ghost about G I'm not ready for the dead to show its face C F Em Whose angel are you anyway?
[Outro]
Am I said there's prophets in the graveyard Am (Now I walk in beauty) Am Prophets in the graveyard Am (Beauty is before me) Am Prophets in the graveyard Am (Beauty is behind me) Am (Above and below me)
