Chords are fingerpicked--that is the reason for the strumming pattern. Instrumentals are fingerpicked. Jewel does much vocal improvisation behind the Chorus structure.Was this info helpful?

Amen by Jewel
Album: Pieces of You
Capo: 2nd fret
Key:  Bm
 
 
[Instrumental 1]
Am  C  Em  Em
 
[Verse 1]
Am            Em
Your mother's child
Am                 Em
But night lays you down
Am           Em
Hair aflame, wild look in your eyes
Am                 Em
Naked belly to the ground
Am       Em
A forest fire
Am              Em
Nibbles at your veins
Am             Em
Crawls up your arm
Am                  Em
Runs away with your mind
    C                       Em
And burns dry thoughts like leaves
F  G
Amen
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am         Em
Eyes stare up
Am              Em
But something's in the way
Am                Em
In the Bible only angels have wings
Am                Em
And the rest must wait to be saved
Am             Em
Screams at the sky
Am                Em
But the wind just breathes words in
Am                         Em
As a strange bird tries to fly
F  G
Amen
 
 
[Instrumental 2]
Am   Em  Am  Em
Am   Em  Am  Em
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am           Em
Pieces of us die everyday
Am                       Em
As though our flesh were hell
Am                    Em
Such an injustice, as children we are told
Am               Em
That from God we fell
Am           Em
Where are my angels?
Am         Em
Where's my golden one?
Am              Em
And where is my hope
Am                      Em
Now that my heroes have gone?
Am             Em
Some are being beaten
Am             Em
Some are being born
Am                      Em
And some can't tell the difference anymore
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Am E
Amen
Am E
Amen
Am E
Amen
Am E
Amen
Am   C   E
Hallelujah
Am   C   E
Hallelujah
