Mistress

	  		Intro: G  F  C    G  F  C    G  F  C    G  F  C  

           G      F           C 
Who was my mother, who was my father 
         G          F            C     G 
All I've known is a whip upon my back 
                       F              C   
My skin is yellowed by much more than weakness 
    Am              G            F            C       G  C 
And wise beyond the years of the blue and the black 


             G             F               C 
My arms were never strong enough to stir molasses 
        G          F                C   G 
My eyes watch riverboats as they go by 
                             F               C     ~ Am 
Some call me mistress, but I wish that I was cargo 
                  G            F              C   F  C  ~ Am 
Floating down the Brazos in my chariot to the sky

G F C My people, they worked from can't see to can't see G F C G Traded in and out from the grassy shores F C ~ Am They say there's something about me G F C G C Flying like a bird, never known freedom before___ G F C Well, I wear dresses of silks and threaded satins G F C G Some gowns were only meant to bear a woman's breast F C I'll stand down every white man in this county Am G F C F C ~ Am But Columbus you are dying and I'm no different from the rest

Instrumental: G F C Am G F C G F C I was born in the hills of Kentucky G F C G Never native to the auction block arrest F C ~ Am Headed Southbound as a captive in this country G F C G C Just like the cowboys drove their cattle through the West___ G F C Well, you can read all our names in the records G F C You can deny all the days as they go down G F C ~ Am There's a brick-laid pathway calling you to find us G F C F C ~ Am Underneath a golf course in an east Texas town
tabchorus
F C Oh Rachel, won't you lie next to me Dm Am G C Tonight and every night to come G F C And won't you calm all that's raging inside me Am G F C G F 'Cause outside's just a battlefield that Santa Ana won C G F Santa Ana won____ C G F C G F C Santa Ana won
