Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][C][B]
[Em][D][C][B]

[Verse 1]
There is a [Em]woman in Somalia
[D]Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There's a [C]force stronger than nature
[B]Keeps her will alive
[Em]This is how she's dying
She's [D]dying to survive
[C]Don't know what she's made of
I would [B]like to be that brave

[Chorus 1]
She cries to the [Am]heaven [Bm]above
There is a [Am]stone in my [Bm]heart
She lives a [Am]life she didn't [Bm]choose
And it hurts like brand- [Am]new s[Bm]hoes
[B]Hurts like brand- new

[Interlude 1]
[Em](shoes)[D][C][B]

[Verse 2]
There is a [Em]woman in Somalia
The [A]sun gives her no mercy
The [C]same sky we lay under
[B]Burns her to the bone
Long as [Em]afternoon shadows
It's gonna [D]take her to get home
[C]Each grain carefully wrapped up
[B]Pearls for her little girl

[Bridge 1]
Halle[Em]lujah[D]
Halle[C]lujah[B]

[Chorus 2]
She cries to the [Am]heaven [Bm]above
There is a [Am]stone in my [Bm]heart
She lives in a [Am]world she didn't [Bm]choose
And it hurts like brand- [Am]new s[Bm]hoes
[B]Hurts like brand- new

[Outro 1]
