[Verse 1]

F#                 F#7             F#  F#7
Daddy's Mama was a child of the nation
F#                      F#7         F#     F#7
Raised on a white man's little reservation
F#                           F#7
Three girls, one more in the belly of her Mama
B                                  F#       F#7 F# F#7
Robbed by death giving life to her daughter


[Verse 2]

F#                      F#7            F#  F#7
Baby grew up fast, yeah she was a fast one
F#                  F#7        F#    F#7
One half child, the other half woman
F#               F#7
Shotgun wedding 'fore the baby arrived
B                            F#    F#7  F# F#7
Man run off, left a child to raise a child


[Chorus]

D                       B
Partake of pleasure and reap the shame
         A                    B
The hand that holds the power assigns the blame
    C#7                                 F#   F#7
And this whole world turns on a woman's pain

[Verse 3]

 F#                       F#7          F#   F#7
"Throw me a bone and I'll make you a woman"
F#                      F#7       F#   F#7
God said to Adam in the Garden of Eden
F#                          F#7
The moment her lips touched forbidden fruit
              B                                  F#   F#7  F# F#7
He said "I'll curse you with pain and a man will rule you"


[Chorus]

D                       B
Partake of pleasure and reap the shame
         A                    B
The hand that holds the power assigns the blame
    C#7                                 F#   F#7
And this whole world turns on a woman's pain
