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