G Bm Bm/A
Oh Mother, oh Father, in our darkest hour
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
D Bm
Oh Mother, oh Father, in our time of fear
