O Indigo Girls é composto por Amy Ray e Emily Saliers. Elas se conheceram no playground de uma escola primária em Decatur, Georgia, e têm tocado juntas desde o ensino médio. Foram contratadas pela Epic Records em 1989 e ganharam o Grammy de melhor albúm comtemporâneo folk naquele ano. Algumas de suas músicas são "Galileo", "Closer to Fine," e "Shame on You."
Além de musicistas, Ray e Saliers são ativistas, sempre apoiando campanhas para o controle de armas
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
JOKING (Amy Ray) ---------------- (The net result of all the instruments is G Em7 Cadd9 D, which you can play as 320033 022033 x32033 x00232, but actually, Amy just plays G Em C D, or 320003 022000 x32010 x00232. In other words, Amy never plays the D variations; that's Emily's part, way up high on the neck.)
[Intro] GEm7Cadd9DGEm7Cadd9Dsus-D-D(9)-D
GEm7 You said the world was magic, I was wide-eyed and laughing Cadd9D We were dancing up to the bright side GEm7 Forget about your ego, forget about your pride Cadd9DD And you will never have to compromise
GEm7Cadd9Dsus-D-D(9)-D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother
We talked about our mothers, kissed the wounds of our fathers I could've been your sister, I would've been your brother You kissed me like I was a soldier headed for war I'm a dying man, but I don't know what for [stop]
GEm7Cadd9D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother GEm7Cadd9D You were only joking, you were only joking, brother (Wide-eyed and laughing) (Dancing...)

Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet I bruised my heels on the swollen street We were girls in bars, boys on the town Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd
You said good friends are hard to come by I laughed and bought you a beer, it's too corny to cry Well, sentiment given or sentiment lost You shake it off with a smirk and a toss [stop]
GEm7Cadd9D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother GEm7Cadd9D You were only joking, you were only joking, brother GEm7Cadd9D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother (Gravel and glass...) (I bruised my heels...)
GEm7Cadd9D You were joking, you were only joking, brother (You kissed me like a soldier...) (I'm a dying man...) GEm7Cadd9D And you were only joking, you were only joking, brother (...dying man, but I don't know what for...) DD [stop] And you were only, and you were only, and you were only GEm7Cadd9Dsus-D-D(9)-DG [stop] N.C. Joking, brother One two three four...
