Standard (EADGBE)

Talking girlfriend as religion

Of faith lost and new found

Of disillusion with the system

Of justice and redemption

Of blind faith and let me downs

(Chorus)

Talking 'bout my lady of good hope

Woman as savior, my salvation

A mighty queen who arrives on the edge of town

To salvage the cause and save my dying nation

And I was just a citizen of the city

Making wages in the bakery in the square

Kneading dough and thinking revolution

When my lady, she appeared

Conversion on the spot to her

Woman as religion - time for holy war

I raise a fist above my head and to her I swore

My allegiance

(Chorus)

And there was revolution in the streets

Barricades at the parliament house

Strong victories and hard defeats

In the battle to win my own crown

And save my dying nation

Talking 'bout woman as salvation

(Intro)

During the four strums of D, it is actually three chords:

L

000232 This is standard D (1)

000233 This is D add 9 (I think) (2)

000230 And this is D something or other (3)

The rapidly strummed chords are 1,2,1,3

The C is a C add 9 and looks like:

L

The strum is

+9,

For both of these, hold the original chords as you normally do, and add

the new notes w/ the pinky.

That's It! Have fun.
