G# F# C# G# F# C# G# F# C# G# F# C#
G# F# C#
Who was my mother, who was my father
G# F# C# G#
All I've known is a whip upon my back
F# C#
My skin is yellowed by much more than weakness
A#m G# F# C# G# C#
And wise beyond the years of the blue and the black
G# F# C#
My arms were never strong enough to stir molasses
G# F# C# G#
My eyes watch riverboats as they go by
F# C# ~ A#m
Some call me mistress, but I wish that I was cargo
G# F# C# F# C# ~ A#m
Floating down the Brazos in my chariot to the sky
CHORUS:
F# C#
Oh Rachel, won't you lie next to me
D#m A#m G# C#
Tonight and every night to come
G# F# C#
And won't you calm all that's raging inside me
A#m G# F# C# G# F# C# G# F# C#
'Cause outside's just a battlefield that Santa Ana won
G# F# C#
My people, they worked from can't see to can't see
G# F# C# G#
Traded in and out from the grassy shores
F# C# ~ A#m
They say there's something about me
G# F# C# G# C#
G# F# C#
Well, I wear dresses of silks and threaded satins
G# F# C# G#
Some gowns were only meant to bear a woman's breast
F# C#
I'll stand down every white man in this county
A#m G# F# C# F# C# ~ A#m
But Columbus you are dying and I'm no different from the rest
CHORUS:
F# C#
Oh Rachel, won't you lie next to me
D#m A#m G# C#
Tonight and every night to come
G# F# C#
And won't you calm all that's raging inside me
A#m G# F# C# G# F# C# G# F# C#
Outside's just a battlefield that Santa Ana won
INSTRUMENTAL: G# F# C# A#m G# F# C#
G# F# C#
I was born in the hills of Kentucky
G# F# C# G#
Never native to the auction block arrest
F# C# ~ A#m
Headed Southbound as a captive in this country
G# F# C# G# C#
G# F# C#
Well, you can read all our names in the records
G# F# C#
You can deny all the days as they go down
G# F# C# ~ A#m
There's a brick-laid pathway calling you to find us
G# F# C# F# C# ~ A#m
Underneath a golf course in an east Texas town
CHORUS:
F# C#
Oh Rachel, won't you lie next to me
D#m A#m G# C#
Tonight and every night to come
G# F# C#
And won't you calm all that's raging inside me
A#m G# F# C# G# F#
'Cause outside's just a battlefield that Santa Ana won
C# G# F#
C# G# F# C# G# F# C#
Santa Ana won
