A song where I especially like the lyrics, with an interesting rhythm. 
As usual ear-transcribed, I think the song is actually higher than my chords so I 
tried with Capo and everything but didn't find out yet.
Other ideas always welcome.



                              Joan


Vese 1:

  C
I am as god made me
  D
I have no desire
     G
For a mouth at my breast
   D
Or a pot on the fire
  C
I heed the higher voices,
  D
I go where I'm sent
   D
To mow down the men who refuse to repent
      C
I'm a scythe
     G
In a field full of briars

Chorus:
         Am
And they won't call me mother
   C
Or sister or wife
          D
They will know me or not
       G
by the strenght of my life
       Am
I will burn with a light of my own
        G
They'll know me as Joan



Verse 2:

     C
The courage of Catherine, 
     D
The flames of the forge,
    G
The Sword of St. Michael, 
    D
The blood of St. George,
  C
I take what I'm given, 
    D
I follow my truth,
    D
I gladly abandon the bloom of my youth,
         C
I'm the lashing, 
     G
that falls from the scourge.



Last verse and chorus the same.
