INTRO: C  F  C  F

C                                 
And the good earth shook, the day 
     F
that Jesus was reborn
   C                   
In Anchorage, March the 
                 F
twenty-seventh, nineteen sixty-four
     G                             
When he came back this time though,
        E         Am
 it was as a baby girl
    F                C            
Her parents said her mission was 
   G
the same, to save the world


C                                  
God looked down and said, "Oh, the 
F
times they are a'changing.
       C                        
I will send my only daughter, as 
          F
soon as I complete the staging"
G                                 
All the land shook and rolled and 
E                   Am
split, there was no warning
       F           C           
Except Gabriel had told the mom, 
          G
she'd arrive Good Friday morning

    C                           
And so it came to pass, that her 
 F
parents named her Zuly
  C                           
A bright and happy child, also 
 F
wilful and unruly
    G                              
The birds would come and visit her,
             E                   
 they wished they could take her 
Am
with them
          F                    
When they left their roosts for 
 C       G
winter, she would always miss them


BRIDGE:
F                                  
Zuly won a scholarship, though the 
Fm             F          A7
classes mostly bored her
She loved the other students though 
        A                        Dm
and the teachers all adored her
"We learned more from her" they 
     G
said, "than we could ever teach her
     E7                            
But, there were times when we just 
          A7            F   G
could not reach her"


           C                       
She said, "We are here to love each
                F
 other, that is all"
    C                         
And organized religion, that's 
    F
comparatively small"
G                             
Not that I don't love all those 
  E              Am
so-called holy ones"
F                C              
Why are there so few daughters among
G
 the leaders of my sons?"


C                            
Now she runs a charter boat on 
  F
Resurrection Bay
          C                        
She takes tourists to see the wild 
           F
creatures, every summer's day
   G                             
In fall she teaches bush kids, at 
     E                  Am
the boarding school in Sitka
F               C              G
On those long December nights, she 
is the light of winter
