Intro
F# C# F# C#
My name is Yvonne Johnson
F# C#
My native blood is Cree
G# C#
I'm here to tell the story
F# C# F# C# F# C#
Of the life stolen from me
My grandfather's grandfather was
F# C#
The great war chief Big Bear
G# C#
And Flora my grandmother worked
F# C#
With medicine and prayer
My mother is Saskatchewan
F# C#
My daddy ex-Marine
G# C#
And I was just a half-breed
F# C#
Falling somewhere in between
F# C#
Somewhere in between
G# C#
Raised up in a reckless world
G# C#
Of drugs and alcohol
G# C#
The police killed my brother, Earl
F# G#
The only one who cared at all
C#
Cleft palate split my face in two
F# C#
No surgery can repair
G# C#
I lived in shame and ridicule
F# C#
Foundations of despair
F# C# F# C# F# C#
Foundations of despair
First memory of my brother, Leon
F# C#
I was only three
G# C#
He threw me on the table
F# C#
Forced himself inside of me
All the kids stood 'round
F# C#
As I descended into hell
G# C#
When I told my daddy 'bout it
F# C# F#
Well, he had his way as well, boys
C#
He took me down as well
G# C#
I didn't have a language
G# C#
For the pain I suffered through
G# C#
Escaping into marriage
F# G#
But your past just catches up with you
C#
Until I had three children
F# C#
And a ragged family
G# C#
A# desperate urge to keep them
F# C# F#
From the wolves that got to me, boys
C#
Wolves that got to me
INSTRUMENTAL: C# F# C# G# C# F# C# F# C# G# C# G# C# G# C# F#
C# F# C# F# C#
I wish I could forget that night
F# C#
The way the cards all fell
G# C#
The deck was stacked against me
F# C#
And I played my part so well
Three days on the party
F# C#
In a drunken revelry
G# C#
Shirley Ann said Chuck had plans
F# C#
To lure my kids from me
F# C#
Lure my kids from me
G# C#
We stuck him with a dagger
G# C#
And we beat him 'round the head
G# C#
I unleashed all my anger
F# G#
And I didn't stop when he was dead
C#
They set me up to take the fall
F# C#
I went down willingly
G# C#
Now I'm doing life in prison
F# C# F#
While the rest of them run free, boys
C#
They're all running free
INSTRUMENTAL: C# F# C# F# C# F# G# C#
Grandmother, grandmother
F# C#
Send your prayers to me
G# C#
Protect me and my children
F# C#
For I love them endlessly
Creator, creator
F# C#
I have come alive
G# C#
Medicine Bear Woman
F# C# F#
Doing life at thirty-five, boys
C#
Life at thirty-five
F#
I pray, help me to make my amends
C#
To those that I have harmed
F#
Grant them love and peace so they may
C#
Understand I'm sorry
F#
Help me share my shame and pain
C#
So others they might do the same
F#
And so awaken to themselves
C#
And to all peoples of this world
OUTRO:
F#
Oh, Hai hai, hai hai
C#
Ho ho, ho ho
F#
Ohh ooh
C#
Ohh ooh
F#
Ohh ooh
