Don't Cry For Your Daughter Eve

[Verse 1] Am7 Fmaj7 A woman with a knowing smile caught my Dm7 eye, Am7 G/B C She sat there with a drink a---lone, Am7 Fmaj7 The barkeep says they call her original Dm7 sin, Am7 Am7 The very first scapegoat when the trouble G/B C set in. [Verse 2] Am7 Fmaj7 Dm7 Mother to the millions but queen to none, Am7 G/B C She sits and sips her drink un--fazed, Am7 Fmaj7 Barkeep says they'll take her away in a Dm7 bit, Dm7* E7* She overstepped and now must pay for her sins. [Pre-Chorus] Am G The court is gathered, D/F# F Judge sits low, E7 But round the room, Am The jury know, Am G D/F# Fmaj7 Gods not gonna help you now my girl, E7 E So save your prayers. [Chorus] Am Legions of daughters, those that you G Dm Am fought for happily curse your name now, Am G Drink from the cup girl and in another Dm Am world history sings the same vow, Am G Dm Ruled by religion they speak but we listen E7 and offer a lamb to the slaughter, Dm Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as Am E Am mother dies for daughter. G Self-righteousness rooted inside your home Dm Am kid can't help but follow their lead, Am Mothers curse mothers daughters curse G Dm Am daughters and so the cycle repeats, Am G Dm Villainize victims slave to a system E7 collecting kindling for our kin, Dm The fire we drop at your feet and we leave, Am G E7 Please don't cry for your daughters, Eve. Fmaj7 Am E7 Am Please don't cry for your daughters Eve, Fmaj7 Am E7 Am Please don't cry for your daughters Eve. [Verse 3] Am F Just as the barkeep said a mob came to Dm call, Am G/B C And took her from her place of rest, Am F She stood and walked herself right out of Dm the door, E A path she'd walked so many, many, times Am before. [Verse 4] Am F Dm I was frozen couldn't move from my seat, E You think you'd be a saviour but can't do Am as you preach, Am F Eve I'm sorry you must take the fall for Dm their shame, Dm* E* I'd help you but I risk taking your place. [Pre-Chorus] Am G# G The court is gathered, D/F# F Judge sits low, E7 E But round the room, Am* The jury know, Am C Cadd9 Gods not gonna help you now my girl, E7 E Am So save your prayers. [Chorus] Am Legions of daughters, those that you G Dm Am fought for happily curse your name now, Am G Drink from the cup girl and in another Dm Am world history sings the same vow, Am G Dm Ruled by religion they speak but we listen E7 and offer a lamb to the slaughter, Dm Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as Am E Am mother dies for daughter. G Self-righteousness rooted inside your home Dm Am kid can't help but follow their lead, Am Mothers curse mothers daughters curse G Dm Am daughters and so the cycle repeats, Am G Dm Villainize victims slave to a system E7 collecting kindling for our kin, Dm The fire we drop at your feet and we leave, E D F Please don't cry for your daughters, Eve. Am E Am F Please don't cry for your daughters Eve, Am E Am Please don't cry for your daughters Eve. [Bridge] Am Mother Maiden Crone, Am Goddess God-less all alone, Am Medusa and the flesh, Am Punished for another's mess, Am So you'll take the fall, Am For standing just an inch too tall, Am When the bell doth toll, Am The ringing calls out for us all. Am Temptress siren witch, Am Anne she stands without a stitch, Am A lesson never learned, Am Speak too loud we'll see you burn, Am And your reflection seems, Am To look a whole lot like that eve, Am When the bell doth toll, Am The ringing calls out for us all, E The ringing calls out for us all! [Outro] Am Legions of daughters, those that you F C fought for happily curse your name now, E Drink from the cup girl and in another Am world history sings the same vow, Am G/B Ruled by religion they speak but we listen and offer a lamb to the slaughter, C Easy to lay the blame onto her alter as E mother dies,. Am F And dies and dies and dies and dies and Dm dies and dies and, E Am G/B Dies and dies and dies and dies and dies C E and dies and dies and dies and dies, E Am For your daughters, Eve. X
