INTRO: [C] [F] [C] [F]

[C]And the good earth shook, the day that [F]Jesus was reborn
In [C]Anchorage, March the twenty-seventh, [F]nineteen sixty-four
When [G]he came back this time though, it was [E]as a baby [Am]girl
Her [F]parents said her [C]mission was the [G]same, to save the world

[C]God looked down and said, "Oh, the [F]times they are a'changing.
I will [C]send my only daughter, as soon as I[F] complete the staging"
[G]All the land shook and rolled and [E]split, there was no [Am]warning
Except [F]Gabriel had [C]told the mom, she'd ar[G]rive Good Friday morning

And [C]so it came to pass, that her [F]parents named her Zuly
A [C]bright and happy child, also [F]wilful and unruly
The [G]birds would come and visit her, they wished [E]they could take her [Am]with them
When they [F]left their roosts for [C]winter, [G]she would always miss them

[BRIDGE]
[F]Zuly won a scholarship, though the [Fm]classes mostly [F]bored her [A7]
She loved the other students though and the [A]teachers all adored her [Dm]
"We learned more from her" they said,[G] "than we could ever teach her
But, [E7]there were times when we just could not [A7]reach her" [F] [G]

She said, "[C]We are here to love each other, that is [F]all"
And [C]organized religion, that's com[F]paratively small"
[G]Not that I don't love all those [E]so-called holy [Am]ones"
[F]Why are there so [C]few daughters a[G]mong the leaders of my sons?"

[C]Now she runs a charter boat on [F]Resurrection Bay
She takes [C]tourists to see the wild creatures, [F]every summer's day
In [G]fall she teaches bush kids, at the [E]boarding school in [Am]Sitka
[F]On those long De[C]cember nights, [G]she is the light of winter
