Biografia:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

Richard Shindell - The Courier
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Em C
D Em C
I am a courier
D Em C
Crawling in the dirt
D
Toward the front line
Em
As the crow flies
C
A note stashed in my shirt
D Em C
From the Prince of Wales
D Em C
Far above the fields
D
With his marshals
Em
And their chain-mail
C G
Their banners taut and high
D Em
I did not ask him what the note said
C
He did not offer to explain
D C
It's not my job to ask the questions
D Em C
I'm just the courier
D Em C
I'm just the courier
D Em C
A flare shot leaves a scar
D Em C
Burning in the dark
D
On my forearms
Em
Through the barbed wire
C
Another fifty yards
D Em C
Crouching in the trench
D Em C
Clutching bayonets
D
A hundred men
Em
All knee-to-chest
C G
A hundred marionettes
D Em
I am the string pulled by the sure hand
C
Animating what was still
D C
I am invisible and faithful
D Em C
I am a courier
D Em C
Just a courier
INSTRUMENTAL: Em C Em C D Em C
D Em C
The Captain breaks the seal
D Em C
Quickly reads the note
D
On your feet boys
Em
Make your peace boys
C
Pass those letters down
D Em C
To this courier
D Em C
Guardian of the word
D
Hand him all you've seen
Em
Hand him all you've heard
C G
Hand him all your pearls
D Em
And I'll go back to where I came from
C
I will deliver each by hand
D C
I take this as a point of honour
D Em C
To be a courier
D Em C
To be a courier
D Em
