Saw Paula in concert tonight (amazing!!!) and made sure to watch for
that little arpeggio.  The verses are basically one chord shape that
slides between frets, and the picking pattern is pretty self-evident.
I didn't get the fills, but the verse riff works fine for bridging.

F#9                             E9
 Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land
       G9                        A9 (repeat same chords through verses)
As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child
As she holds him, as she holds him

Watch the woman's hands as she holds her children back
From the danger, from the danger
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight
Together, together

        Em              Gadd9
CHORUS:  Oh we need her, oh we need her
        Em              Gadd9
         Oh we need her, oh we need her

Watch the woman's hands as she talks to the man
As he talks down to her, as he tells her
He doesn't understand, he doesn't see the fisted hand
Clenching tightly, angrily

CHORUS REPEATED

[Various drum solos, hand claps and beat-boxing; end on Em]
