Words and music by Amy Ray & Emily Saliers, on Indigo Girl's 2020 album, "Look Long." [Intro] C D G C D G [Verse 1]
C                         D
All of the daddies were weathered

G                      C
All of the mommas were torn

                        D                       G
Still the whole village came in their finest to see

                    C
What could possibly be born

                D            G                   C
Out of a house divided, in a world so brutal and maimed

                    D                             G
But then we saw the kids and found ourselves saying
[Chorus 1]
                    D
We’re gonna make it up to you

G                 C
Every day of our lives

                    D
We’re gonna make it up

                     C
We’re gonna get this right
[Interlude] C D G C D G [Verse 2]
C                      D
Some people held their daddy’s guns

G                      C
Me, I hung mine on the wall

               D
For every war, we could have won

G                        C
Without shooting them at all

                          D
Is this the best we could muster?

      G                        C
Custer or just prayers for the slain

                  D                         C
I wanna get this right and not the same old thing
[Chorus]
                  D
I wanna make this up to you

G               C
Every day of my life

                  D
I wanna make this up

                  C
I wanna get this right
[Bridge]
Em
Born of privilege, born of none

C
Hunger, disease, it’s all a gun

                 Am
Clean your plate kid, I want you to understand

     B
The isolation we breed, the hunger in Yemen

          Em
It’s your first lock down, you’re so young

    C
But so are the kids under the barrel bombs

         Am
It’s the evil we helped let loose, it’s what we’ve become

     Bsus4
It’s all a gun, it’s all a gun
[Verse 3]
             G                          Bm
I don’t know where we come from, what I know is that we ain’t done

                 Am                         C
We got the river running, we got the animal cunning (Why do we keep on gunning?)

                  D                    G             C
I got no use for these ramparts, ivory towers or the lines in the sand

                      D                      C
I think enough of the time, we want the same thing
[Chorus]
                    D
We’re gonna make it up to you

G                 C
Every day of our lives

                    D
We’re gonna make it up

                     C
We’re gonna get this right
[Outro] C D G C D G
