Chord Clam Crab Cockle Cowrie by Joanna Newsom

ubi_rex@hotmail . com the other clam crab cockle chords are close . the first is a half step too high , and both are missing or contain wrong chords . i put a chord letter every time she plucks a bass root note . note : she plays the bass note of the B chord below the low E on the guitar , so it will sound slightly different on guitar unless you tune down . B B that means no , where i come from . B F# i Am cold , out waiting for the day to come . B B i chew my lips , and i scratch my nose B F# E E feels so good to be a rose . B B oh don’t , don’t you life me up B F# like i’m that shy , no no no no no , just give it up E F# B there are bats all dissolving in a row E F# G#m into the wishy - washy dark that can’t let go . B B B i cannot let go , so i thank the lord , and i thank his sword! B F# G#m ’tho it be mincing up the morning , slightly bored . B E B F# E o , morning without warning like a hole , oh and i watch you go . B F# E there are some mornings when the sky looks like a road . B F# E there are some dragons who were built to have and hold . B F# G#m and some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly . B E B and some great bellies ache with many bumblebees F# E E and they sting so terribly . B B i do as i please . now i’m on my knees . B F# G#m your skin is something that i stir into my tea . E E and i Am watching you G#m G#m and you are starry , starry , starry B F# E E and i’m tumbling down , and i check a frown . B B it’s why i love this town : well , just look around . G#m G#m just see me serenaded hourly! celebrated sourly! E E dedicated dourly; F# B B waltzing with the open sea - F# E F# G#m clam , crap , cockle , cowrie : will you just look at me? B E B F# E o wo wo o - oh owo - o - oh owo - o - oh ohoho oh - oh repeat twice , then for the last time B E B F# E F# B o wo wo o - oh owo - o - oh owo - o - oh ohoho oh - oh
