Tom: Em

Em Am Em Am Em
 
[Verse 1]

Em
Well you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't
               Am                     Em
trouble if you will, goes double if you won't

[Verse 2]

Em
So you watch what you say, you watch what you do
                     Am                            Em
you keep thinking someday they're gonna see the real you

[Verse 3]

Em
Sixty cents on the dollar, more than makes you want to holler
                            Am                           Em
attack your smarts til your numb, is how they make you feel dumb

[Verse 4]


Em
you want to beat em to the punch, you want to trust every hunch
               Am                                                Em
because in the mirror there's a girl, just trying to make it in the world

[Chorus]

      C                     G
Woman weep like the wild winds wail
            D              Em
for your Magdalene and your Jezebel
C                         G
woman weep for your sisters gone
                    D               Em
let their names live on with a banshee moan

[Instrumental]

Em Am Em Am Em



Em
Then one day you turn a corner, find your doubt goes back burner
              Am                          Em
all dismissal implies, is where your sanity lies

Em
so you've come through fire, you've set your sights higher
                       Am                       Em
you've found a merciful moon, but not a moment too soon

[Chorus 2]

      C                     G
Woman weep like the wild winds wail
            D             Em
for your Magdalene and your Jezebel
C                         G
woman weep for your sisters gone
                    D              Em
let their names be known with a banshee moan

[Repeat]

     C                 G
Woman weep for those gone on
                    D               Em
let the truth be known with a banshee moan
