Joan Chords

[Verse 1]
  Am                   C
I am as God made me, I have no desire
      G                       D
For a mouth at my breast or a pot on the fire
  Am                         C
I heed the higher voices; I go where I'm sent
   G                       D
To mow down the men who refuse to repent
      Am             C             G
I'm a scythe, in a field full of briars
 
[Chorus]
         Am                        C
And they won't call me Mother, or Sister, or Wife
          G                         D
They will know me or not by the strength of my life
       Am                       C
I will burn with a light of my own
        G          D
They'll know me as Joan
        G          D
They'll know me as Joan
 
[Verse 2]
     Am                       C
The courage of Catherine, the flames of the forge
G                            D
Sword of Saint Michael, the blood of Saint George
  Am                     C
I take what I'm given, I follow my truth
   G                 D
I gladly abandon the bloom of my youth
        Am            C              G
I'm the lashing, that falls from the scourge
 
[Chorus]
         Am                        C
And they won't call me Mother, or Sister, or Wife
          G                         D
They will know me or not by the strength of my life
       Am                       C
I will burn with a light of my own
        G          D
They'll know me as Joan
        G          D
They'll know me as Joan
 
[Verse 3]
  Am                          C
I fight where God tells me, I never ask why
      G                       D
I've bloodied the Devil, with steel from on high
  Am                         C
I kill without consequence, heed no Man's law
  G                            D
I sift out the righteous like grain from the straw
     Am            C         G
I am Judgment, and Heaven is nigh
 
[Chorus]
         Am                        C
And they won't call me Mother, or Sister, or Wife
          G                         D
They will know me or not by the strength of my life
       Am                       C
I will burn with a light of my own
        G          D
They'll know me as Joan
 
[Chorus]
         Am                    C
They won't call me Mother, or Sister, or Wife
          G                       D
They will know me or not by the strength of my life
       Am                       C
I will burn with a light of my own
        G            D
They'll know me as Joan
 
[Chorus]
   Am                        C
No they won't call me Mother, or Sister, or Wife
          G                         D
They will know me or not by the strength of my life
       Am                       C
I will burn with a light of my own
        G            D
They'll know me as Joan
 
[Chorus]
   Am                        C
No they won't call me Mother, or Sister, or Wife
          G                         D
They will know me or not by the strength of my life
       Am                       C
I will burn with a light of my own
        G            D
They'll know me as Joan
 
[Chorus]
      Am                       C
They won't call me Mother, or Sister, or Wife
          G                       D
They will know me or not by the strength of my life
       Am                       C
I will burn with a light of my own
        G          D
They'll know me as Joan
        G          D
They'll know me as Joan
