Eliza Gilkyson - Ballad Of Yvonne Johnson
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: F C F C
My name is Yvonne Johnson
F C
My native blood is Cree
G C
I'm here to tell the story
F C F C F C
Of the life stolen from me
My grandfather's grandfather was
F C
The great war chief Big Bear
G C
And Flora my grandmother worked
F C
With medicine and prayer
My mother is Saskatchewan
F C
My daddy ex-Marine
G C
And I was just a half-breed
F C
Falling somewhere in between
F C
Somewhere in between
G C
Raised up in a reckless world
G C
Of drugs and alcohol
G C
The police killed my brother, Earl
F G
The only one who cared at all
C
Cleft palate split my face in two
F C
No surgery can repair
G C
I lived in shame and ridicule
