Miriam Pierce Pettis
(Capo on 4. Pierce finger picks the chords, but strumming them sounds fine, too.)
[G] No [Cadd9]banners were unf[D]urled
[G] When [Cadd9]God stepped into w[D]orld
[Bm] Held in the arms of a little [C]girl named [G]Miriam[Cadd9] [D]
[G] Now, who would [Cadd9]ever beli[D]eve
[G] The fianc[Cadd9]ee, the family[D]
[Bm] the teenage pregnan[C]cy of Miri[G]am[Cadd9] [D]
[Bm] But laws of nature were sus[C]pended
[Bm] Death sentances rece[C]nded Throughout all the wo[G]rld
All be[Cadd9]cause of a little g[D]irl named Miri[G]am[Cadd9] [D]
[G] Mideval [Cadd9]paintings glaring down[D]
[G] Stoney f[Cadd9]igures judge and frown[D]
[Bm] And wearing a halo like a [C]crown, could that be Mi[G]riam?[Cadd9] [D]
[G] In gentile [Cadd9]temples stained glass sw[D]irls
[G] A cherubi[Cadd9]m with golden [D]curls
[Bm] Oh how unlike the hebrew [C]world of Mir[G]iam[Cadd9] [D]
[Bm] I don't know if you a[C]cended
[Bm] I don't care what's been [C]amended
It was once your mira[G]cle, the [Cadd9]faith of a little [D]girl named Mi[G]riam[Cadd9] [D]
[G]Oh, you are [Cadd9]blessed inde[D]ed
[G] Blessed is the [Cadd9]fruit of your t[D]ree
[Bm] Yeshewah, King of [C]Kings, Son of Mi[G]riam[Cadd9] [D]
[G] No [Cadd9]banners were unfurl[D]ed
[G] When God stepped [Cadd9]into the worl[D]d
[Bm] Held in the arms of a little [C]girl named Mir[G]iam[Cadd9] [D]
(continue with chord progression and end on D)
