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