There she stands in the spotlight

Now the music begins
D
C
D
Her left leg won't stop trembling
Em

But there's nowhere to run
D
Em
C
The soldiers summon at the station
D
Em
C
D
Are staking down to the hall
C
D
Limps in late in the darkness
Em
C
D
Takes his seat in the stars
Em
Righteous woman starts off
C
D
a little like a dove at dawn
Em
Righteous woman building up pressure
C
like a slow -moving storm
D
Righteous woman giving birth
to the dark unborn
Em
Righteous woman, righteous woman

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, Ooh,
Em
In a blanket and a box
D
on a hospital doorstep
Em
C
Lies a baby in your bones
D
The nurse gently picks
C
D
up the bundle
Em
C
D
But the mother is gone
Em
C
In the darkness his head falls
D
Em
C
As the chorus arrives
D
He wakes up late in the third act
Em
To those radiant eyes
C
D
Em
Righteous woman laying on a
C
D
log and on a globe
Em
Righteous woman surrendering
C
to the full ecstatic flow
D
And as she looks out and
sees the brass buttons
glinted in the dead's robe
Em
Righteous woman,
C
D
Em
righteous woman
C
D
Em
Ooh, ooh,
C
D
Em
C
D
ooh
Em
Righteous woman hears the knock
on her dressing room door
C

Em
She takes the note and reads it
C
and lets it drop to the floor
Bm
D
Now she drifts on down slowly
C
D
to the backstage door
Em
Righteous woman,
C
D
righteous woman
Em
Righteous woman,
C
D
righteous woman
Em
Righteous woman,
C
D
righteous woman
Em
Righteous woman,
C
D
righteous woman
Em
Righteous woman, righteous woman
Righteous Woman
