Sadie Joanna Newsom
I used Hackenbush's tab, which is great by the way, I just made it into basic chords.
Song is in 3/4 -- Capo on 4th fret
[G]Sad[Bm]ie, [C]whi[Bm]te coat
[G]you carr[Bm]y me hom[C]e[Bm]
And bur[G]y t[Bm]his [C]bon[Bm]e
and take[G] this pi[Bm]ne cone[C] [Bm]
[Bm]Bur[D]y this [Am]bon[C]e to
[G]Gnaw on it lat[Gmaj7]er
[Em]Gnawing on the telephone
[Bm]Until th[D]en, we pray and [Am]suspend[C]
The not[G]ion that these li[Gmaj7]ves do neve[Em]r end
[G]And all day long we talk about mercy
[G]Lead me to water, Lord, I sure am thi[C]rsty[D] [G]
[G]Down in the ditch where I nearly served you
[G]Up in the clouds where he almost hear[C]d you[D] [G]
[C]And all that we built and all that we breathed
[Em]And all that we spilt, or pulled up like weeds
[G]Is piled up in back and it burns ir[C]revocably[D] [G]
[Em]And we spoke up in turns 'til the silence crep[C]t over me[D] [G]
[G]And bless you, a[Bm]nd I deeply do[C] [Bm]
No longer resolu[G]te, o[Bm]h an[C]d I[Bm] call to you
[G]But the wat[Bm]er go[C] so[Bm] cold
And you do[G] lose wh[Bm]at you[C] don't hold[Bm]
This is an old[Bm] song, the[D]se are o[Am]ld blues[C]
And this[G] is not my tune,[Gmj7] but it's mine t[Em]o use
And the sea[Bm]birds where[D] the fear [Am]once grew[C]
[G]Will flock with a fury a[Gmaj7]nd they will bur[Em]y what'd come for you
[G]And down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
[G]You and I, and a love so[C] tender[D] [G]
[G]Stretched on a hoop where I stitched this adage:
[G]"Bless our house and its heart s[C]o savage[D]"[G]
[C]And all that I want, and all that I need
[Em]And all that I've got is scattered like seed
[G]And all that I knew is moving aw[C]ay from me[D] [G]
[Em]And all that I know is blowing l[C]ike tumbleweed[D] [G]
And the [G]mealy worms in t[Bm]he brine will bu[C]rn[Bm]
In a sal[G]ty pyre [Bm]among the fauns [C]and ferns[Bm]
And the love [G]we hold, an[Bm]d the love we spurn[C] [Bm]
Will never grow [G]cold, on[Bm]ly tacit[C]urn[Bm]
And I'll[G] tell yo[Bm]u tomorr[C]ow[Bm]
[G]Sadie, g[Bm]o on hom[C]e now[Bm]
And bles[G]s those [Bm]who've sickened [C]below[Bm]
And bles[G]s us who[Bm] have chosen so[C] [Bm]
[C]And all that I've got and all that I need
[Em]I tie in a knot and I lay at your feet
[G]And I have not forgot, but a silence cre[C]pt over me[D] [G]
[Em]So dig up your bone, exhume your[C] pine cone, my Sadie[D] [G]
