Chinga is Amos's primate paramour. She runs a brothel in Milwaukee. It is a horribly sordid tale, one which I will resist posting anything further about here, because it's just too nasty. Awful, really. I hate to even think about it. ;-)

Now, I have a couple more small corrections to the lyrics.

1. "the ravaged land lies" for miles around, not "lasts"

Along the dim
Atlantic line
The ravaged land
Lies for miles behind
The light's coming forward
And the streets are broad
All must yield
To the avenging God

2. "Serve God and be cheerful"

Serve God and be cheerful
Look upward beyond
Beyond the darkness that masks
The surprises of dawn
In the deep green grasses
Of the blood stained woods
They never dreamed of surrendering
They fell where they stood


There are only 3 verses with the alternate chord pattern, and they resolve to the 5th of the key at the end (a D chord).

The other verses all resolve to an Em at the end of the lyric, followed by a C and then a G chord.
