Indigo Girls – Yoke (Guitar)

Em                          G
I found the binding of the yoke

        C                       G         F#m
That connects us here, in this herd of hope

Em                         Bm
Escort me to your kingdom come

       C                          Em             C Em C Em
From the gallows' hold, and the things we've done

Em                             Bm
You stole so much, so much at times

           C               G         F#m
Just being bad, like the books we read

      Em                   Bm 
The helplessness that you played upon

            G             Em 
Was just tenderness, to disarm

      C                       D
She ushered in love, but it drove you mad

              C                  G
Not to have everything of your envisioning

       C                G
She wandered in on the peace you lacked

                  Em                          C
Yeah and you're losing still, that life you could've had

Em                        G         Bm
Tell that story one more time for me

        C                           G
Of the baited fields just for the taking dear

Em                    Bm
Where you heard the hunter's call

             C                 G
But your discipline kept you from the fall

Em                          C              G
But oh, to hold that tenderness in these grubby hands

             D
I'd shoot anything

          C                     G
And you laughed at me, but you know I'm right

                Em                            C    Em  Bm  C  G
So why do you claim the strength to put up a fight

         C                     D
And you hold your nightmares close from view

                  C                      G
The horses going wild, under a breaking moon

        C                       G
There's no way the bridle ever fits the bride

              Em                   C          Em C Em C Em
Yeah, and the weight of it, that's why we're here
