Woe Be Gone (by Ani Difranco)
[Intro]
C D C D C
[Verse 1]
D C
Woe be gone
C
Woe be gone
D C
The madness and the suffering of the human race
D C
The history of the world is such a losing place
D C
The alphabet took us on a wild goose chase
Bm
And still
[Chorus]
G C Em
Still there’s swiftly shifting sands
G
Beneath our feet
C
And an unexplored hemisphere
Em G
Lying underneath
C
Enter the goddesses
Em G
Fresh from their long sleep
A
We get so off track sometimes
C
We get so off track sometimes
[Verse 2]
C
I mean what the hell?
D C
Raise your hand if you’re at peace right now
D C
In fact just stand up and take a bow
D C
Everywhere you look just see damaged goods
Bm
And still
[Chorus]
G C Em
Still there’s swiftly shifting sands
G
Beneath our feet
C
And an unexplored hemisphere
Em G
Lying underneath
C
Enter the goddesses
Em G
Fresh from their long sleep
A
We get so off track sometimes
C
We get so off track sometimes
[Verse 3]
C D
Woe be gone
C
Madness and suffering I am just like you
D C
The bottoms of my crutches look like old worn shoes
D C
Me and my addictions got a lot to lose
Bm
And still
[Chorus]
G C Em
Still there’s swiftly shifting sands
G
Beneath our feet
C
And an unexplored hemisphere
Em G
Lying underneath
C
Enter the goddesses
Em G
Fresh from their long sleep
A
We get so off track sometimes
C
We get so off track sometimes
[Verse 4]

Woe be gone
D C
The madness and the suffering of the human race
