Tuning: E A D G B E
This is my first full tab (I usually just post chords), so I apologize if this isn't note for note exactly
how Hozier plays it. But hopefully this is provides good basis for all those more skilled than I to figure out
exactly how Hozier plays it. I posted a cover on YouTube, which may help in figuring out how the notes
coincide with the lyrics since you can see my guitar at all times.

FTrue that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
FWillow dancing on air before covering me
BbUnder cotton and calicoes
BbOver canopy dapple long ago
(Intro Part A)
FTrue that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
FThat the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
BbMust be felled for to fight the cold
BbI fretted fire but that was long ago
(Intro Part A)
[Chorus]
FAnd it's not tonight Dm(Oooh, Bboooh)
FWhere I'm set alight Dm(Oooh, Bboooh)
FAnd I blink in sight Dm(Oooh, C/Goooh)
BbYour blinding light (Oooh)
FOh, it's not tonight Dm(Oooh, Bboooh)
FWhere you hold me tight Dm(Oooh, Bboooh)
FAnd the fire bright Dm(Oooh, C/Goooh)
BbOh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh)
[Break]
FOh, but you're Bbgood to me
FOh, you're Bbgood to me
F Bb F (Intro Part A)
Oh, but you're good to me, baby

FWith the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet
FLike the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
BbSettle soft and as pure as snow
BbI fell in love with the fire long ago
(Intro Part A)
FWith each love I cut loose I was never the same
FWatching still living roots be consumed by the flame
BbI was fixed on your hand of gold
BbLaying waste to my loving long ago
(Intro Part A)

FSo in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
FThough I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
BbLong as amber of ember glows
BbAll the "would that I loved" is long ago
[Chorus]
FAnd it's not tonight Dm(Oooh, Bboooh)

FOh, but you're Bbgood to me
FOh, you're Bbgood to me
FOh, but you're Bbgood to me
FOh, you're Bbgood to me
FYou're Bbgood to me
FOh, but you're Bbgood to me, Fbaby
