Am       C         G      Am 
I am my motherâ??s savage daughter 
Am                   C         G            Am 
The one who runs barefoot, cursing sharp stones 
Am         C         G      Am 
I am my motherâ??s savage daughter 
Am                   E            G          Am 
I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice 

Am           C        G       Am 
My motherâ??s child is a savage 
Am            C               G            Am 
She looks for her omens in the colors of stones 
Am               C            G         Am 
In the faces of cats, In the fall of feathers 
Am                  E            G          Am 
In the dancing of fire and the curve of old bones 

Am            C      G         Am 
My motherâ??s child dances in darkness 
Am                  C            G           Am 
She sings heathen songs by the light of the moon 
Am                  C         G            Am 
And watches the stars, and renames the planets 
Am                   E               G            Am 
And dreams she can reach them with a song and a broom 

Am       C         G      Am 
I am my motherâ??s savage daughter 
Am                   C         G            Am 
The one who runs barefoot, cursing sharp stones 
Am         C         G      Am 
I am my motherâ??s savage daughter 
Am                   E            G          Am 
I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice 

Am           C        G       Am 
My motherâ??s child is a savage 
Am            C               G            Am 
She looks for her omens in the colors of stones 
Am               C            G         Am 
In the faces of cats, In the fall of feathers 
Am                  E            G          Am 
In the dancing of fire and the curve of old bones 

Am                  C         G             Am 
My motherâ??s child curses too loud and too often 
Am                  C         G             Am 
My motherâ??s child laughs too hard and too long 
Am               C           G            Am 
And howls at the moon and sleeps in ditches 
Am               E          G            Am 
And clumsily raises her voice in this song 

Am       C         G      Am 
I am my motherâ??s savage daughter 
Am                   C         G            Am 
The one who runs barefoot, cursing sharp stones 
Am         C         G      Am 
I am my motherâ??s savage daughter 
Am                   E            G          Am 
I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice 

Am           C        G       Am 
My motherâ??s child is a savage 
Am            C               G            Am 
She looks for her omens in the colors of stones 
Am               C            G         Am 
In the faces of cats, In the fall of feathers 
Am                  E            G          Am 
In the dancing of fire and the curve of old bones
