Jonas And Ezekial

• Am

{I saw Indigo Girls do this on Austin City Limits, and they played the verse 
 chords as Am and C.  The _Rites_of_Passage_ songbook also shows them as Am 
 and C.  But it _sounds_ like it's mostly Am; that's because the _bass_ plays 
 A most of the time, even under the C measures.  On "ACL," the chords were 
 strummed so that the fourth and fifth notes of the Am and C measures were 
 hammer-ons from 0 to 2 on the D string.} 
 
{In other words: the verse is Am Am Am Am(4) Am Am Am Am C C C C(9) C C C C.} 
 
          Am                       C 
I left my anger in a river running Highway 5 
    Am                   C 
New Hampshire, Vermont, border by 
Am                          C 
College farms, hubcaps, and falling rocks 
Am                          C 
Voices in the woods and the mountaintops 
 
I used to search for reservations and native lands 
Before I realized everywhere I stand 
There have been tribal feet running wild as fire 
Some past life sister of are my desire 
 
   F                   G 
   Jonas and Ezekial, hear me now 
C                    F 
   Steady now, and don't come out 
           F                     G 
   I'm not ready for the dead to show it's face 
C                      F        E7  E7      Am   Am   Am   Am  
   Whose angel are you anyway,         anyway? 
 
Now when I was young, my people taught me well 
Give back what you take, or you'll go to hell 
It's not the devil's land, you know it's not that kind 
Every devil I meet becomes a friend of mine 
Every devil I meet is an angel in disguise 
 
Jonas and Ezekial, hear me now 
Steady now, and don't come out 
I'm not ready for the dead to show its face 
Whose angel are you anyway? 
 
Am      C        Am      C 
Hey hey hey hey, Hey hey hey hey...

   White - Chain - Rope - Fear - Be still my dear 
 
A bullet in the head, now he's dead 
A friend of a friend, someone said 
He was an activist with a very short life 
I think there's a lesson here, he died without a fight 
 
In the war over land where the world began 
Prophecy says it's where the world will end 
But there's a tremor growing in our own backyard 
 Am                 C                       Am 
Fear in our heads, fear in our hearts, prophets in the graveyards 
 
Jonas and Ezekial, hear me now 
Steady now, and don't come out 
I'm not ready for the dead to show its face 
Whose turn is it anyway? 
 
Jonas and Ezekial, hear me now 
Steady now, I feel your ghost about 
I'm not ready for the dead to show its face 
Whose angel are you anyway? 
 
               Am                        C 
I said there's prophets in the graveyard 
               (Here    I      walk in   beauty) 
Am                        C 
Prophets in the graveyard 
(Beauty         is   be - fore me) 
Am                        C         Am         C       Am. 
Prophets in the graveyard 
(Beauty         is   be - hind me, above and below me)
