HOZIER - WOULD THAT I CHORDS

Capo: 3 Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] D G [Verse 1]

^DTrue that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree Willow dancin' on air before covering me ^GUnder garden and calicos Over canopy dabbled long ago ^D ^DTrue that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me

That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree

^GMust be felt 'fore the fight, the call Friendly fire, but that was long ago ^D

[Chorus]

^DBut that's not tonight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D When I'm set alight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D And I blink inside [^BmOh, ^Aoh] ^G ^GYour blinding light [Oh, oh] ^DOh, that's not tonight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D When you hold me tight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D All the fire bright [^BmOh, ^Aoh] ^G ^GOh, let it blaze alright [Oh, oh] Oh, ^Dhope that you're ^Ggood to me,^D oh, you're ^Ggood to me [Oh, oh] ^DHope that you're ^Ggood to me, ^Dbaby [Oh, oh]

[Instrumental] D G [Verse 2]

^DWith the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feet Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat ^GFeel it soft and as pure as snow Fell in love with the fire long ago ^D ^DWith each love I cut loose, I was never the same

Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame

^GI was fixed on your hand of gold Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago ^D

[Chorus]

^DBut that's not tonight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D When I'm set alight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D And I blink inside [^BmOh, ^Aoh] ^G ^GYour blinding light [Oh, oh] ^DOh, that's not tonight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D When you hold me tight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D All the fire bright [^BmOh, ^Aoh] ^G ^GOh, let it blaze alright, honey [Oh, oh] Oh, ^Dhope that you're ^Ggood to me,^D oh, you're ^Ggood to me [Oh, oh] ^DHope that you're ^Ggood to me, ^Bmbaby [Oh, oh]^G ^Bm ^Em ^G

[Verse 3]

^DSo in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame ^GLong as amber of ember glows All the wood that I'd loved is long ago ^D

[Chorus]

^DBut that's not tonight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D When I'm set alight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D And I blink inside [^BmOh, ^Aoh] ^G ^GYour blinding light [Oh, oh] ^DOh, that's not tonight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D When you hold me tight [^BmOh, ^Goh] ^D All the fire bright [^BmOh, ^Aoh] ^G ^GOh, let it blaze alright [Oh, oh] ^DHope you're ^Ggood to me,^D hope you're ^Ggood to me [Oh, oh] ^DHope that you're ^Ggood to me [Oh, oh] ^DOh, ^Goh, ^Dhope you're ^Ggood to me, ^Dyou're ^Ggood to me [Oh, oh] ^DHope that you're ^Ggood to me, ^Dbaby [Oh, oh]
