Righteous Woman Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[Em]re she stands in the spot[C]light
[D]Now[Em] the music begi[C]ns[G]
[D]Her left leg won't stop [C]trembling[D]
But [Em]there's nowhere to [C]run
[D]The sol[Em]diers summon at the[C] station
[D]Are [Em]staking down to the [C]hall[D]
Limps in late in the [C]darkness[D]
[Em]Takes his seat in the [C]stars[D]
[Em]Righteous woman starts off
a little like a dove at [C]dawn[D]
[Em]Righteous woman building up pressure
like a slow -moving [C]storm
[D]Righteous woman giving birth
to the dark unborn
[Em]Righteous woman, righteous woman
Oo[C]h, [D]oo [Em]h, o[C]oh, [Em]ooh, ooh
Oo[C]h, oo[G]h, [D]ooh, ooh, ooh
Oo[C]h, [D]ooh, [Em]ooh, ooh, Oo[C]h,[D]
[Em]In a blanket and a box
on a hospital [D]doorstep
[Em]Lies a baby in your [C]bones
[D]The nurse gently picks
up the [C]bundle[D]
[Em]But the mother is [C]gone[D]
[Em]In the darkness his head f[C]alls
[D]As [Em]the chorus arri[C]ves
[D]He wakes up late in the third act
[Em]To those radiant eyes
[C]Rig[D]hte[Em]ous woman laying on a
log and on a [C]globe[D]
[Em]Righteous woman surrendering
to the full ecstatic [C]flow
An[D]d as she looks out and
sees the brass buttons
glinted in the dead's robe
[Em]Righteous woman,
righteous [C]woman[D][Em]
[C]Oo [D]h, ooh,[Em]
oo[C]h[D][Em][C][D]
[Em]Righteous woman hears the knock
on her dressing room door
[C]She [D]tak[Em]es the note and reads it
and lets it drop to the [C]floor
[Bm]Now [D]she drifts on down slowly
to the backstage [C]door[D]
[Em]Righteous woman,
righteous [C]woman[D]
[Em]Righteous woman,
righteous [C]woman[D]
[Em]Righteous woman,
righteous [C]woman[D]
[Em]Righteous woman,
righteous [C]woman[D]
[Em]Righteous woman, righteous woman
