Yoke Chords

In the key of E, relative to
capo on the 4th fret. The
song briefly starts on a B
then slides up to the first C#m.
You can play most of the
chords with as few as two
strings, or open it up on the
higher b and e strings if you
want a more full sound.

[Verse 1]
C#m                B
   I guess it was better
           G#m    A
Than the alternative
E                B          A
   Plenty wanted more than us
C#m          B
   Always a roof
        G#m     A
Always food to eat
E             B           A
   Plenty of dogma stained love
 
[Chorus 1]
           E       B   A
Cause the yoke was so heavy
           E       B   A
Yeah the yoke was so
 
[Verse 2]
C#m                B
   Three months away
       G#m    A
Saving savages
E            B              A
   A dozen white bought memories
C#m                B
   I gave them my youth
           G#m         A
Made some lifelong friends
E           B              A
   Who no longer acknowledge me
 
[Chorus 2]
           E       B   A
Cause the yoke was so heavy
           E       B   A
Yeah the yoke was so
 
[Verse 3]
C#m           B
   Out on my own
         G#m         A
Signing lease agreements
E          B       A
   Flexing my agency
C#m           B
   Wondering how
         G#m       A
I would fail without
E                 B        A
   The invisible man guiding me
 
[Chorus 3]
           E       B   A
Cause the yoke was so heavy
           E       B   A
Yeah the yoke was so
           E       B   A
Yeah the yoke was so heavy

Yeah the yoke was so
