Key: G
Introduction:
F#
She went off to the city
E B
To find what she was looking for
F#
To identify, to really try
E B
To find herself some hope
F#
With the summer sun for laughing
E
Then the winter rain did pour
B F#
She was lovelier from learning
E B
And from living, loving more
F#
From her dancing loving young soul
E B
And the gypsies in her dream
F#
To the pulse of stark acceptance
E B
When the winds begun to freeze
F#
With no curfews left to hold her
E
And no walls to shield her pain
B F#
Finding out that facts were older
E B
And that life forms are insane
F#
The presence of protection seemed
E B
To fade, as did her doubt
F#
That she now was no exception
E B
Nor was the love who pushed her out
F#
Though the streets cried out, "go, homesick"
E
Virtue strength of mind would ring
B F#
In the melodies of meaning
E B
The sad song she learned to sing
F#
Now her teachers and philosophers
E B
And the poet's silver throat
F#
Are the vessels which on wisdom's
E B
Karmic ocean she will float
F#
Was this her revolution?
E
Just a child in love's crusade
B F#
With the question in her innocence
E B
Through the lies her eyes betrayed
