verse 1 (Emmylou Harris): 
D                     D/F#  Bm 
Ignorance is the enemy,     and it fills your head with lies 
G                                                       Bm 
It's the kind of bliss that can make you miss the very truth before your eyes 
D                             D/F#              Bm 
It's not who's right or wrong, weak or strong, black or white you see 
G                       Bm                                 A 
Ignorance is the enemy, and it's keeping you from me 

D                               Bm 
Forgive me all my pettiness, forgive me all my grief 
   G                              Bm                      Bm/A 
Forgive me for I know not how to live this life I lead
 

verse 2 (John Prine): 
D                      D/F#  Bm 
Ignorance IS the enemy,     let's set the record straight 
G                              Bm 
If history must repeat itself, why worry while you wait 
D                                       D/F#  Bm 
It's a perfect blue and beautiful world,      you treat with such disdain 
G                        Bm                             A 
Ignorance is the enemy, and it can only bring ya pain 

D                            Bm 
Forgive me all my vanity, forgive me my conceit 
G                                   Bm                        D 
Forgive me when I'm crawlin' like a beggar at your feet
 

verse 3 (Rodney Crowell): 
D                      D/F# Bm 
Ignorance is the enemy,     and it wields a mighty sword 
G                                        Bm 
It can cut you down in a blaze of glory, it can nail you to a board 
D                                        D/F#  Bm 
If mercy and compassion only had a chance,     it could fill these holes we've dug 
G                          Bm                          A 
But ignorance is the enemy, and it's workin' like a drug 

    D                 Bm 
Oh Mother, oh Father, in our time of fear 
G                         Bm 
Grant us the wisdom, Your message for to hear 
D                            Bm 
Send down Your angel band to fill our hearts with power 
   G                  Bm 
Oh Mother, oh Father, in our darkest hour 

             
Bm Bm/A Bm2x
