Chord Inflammatory Writ by Joanna Newsom

michael maher an attempt at documenting the chords from the rendition by stocky76 capo on 3rd fret intro D G D Gmaj7 D G A7 D oh , where is your inflammatory writ D G A7 D your text that would incite a light , "be lit" D our music deserving devotion unswerving cry "do i deserve her?" with unflagging fervor G A7 D well , no you do not , if you cannot get over it Gmaj7 Bm but what’s it mean when suddenly we’re spent , tell me true Gmaj7 Bm ambition came and reared its head , and went far from you Gmaj7 even mollusks have weddings , though solemn and leaden Bm but you dirge for the dead , take no jam on your bread D G A7 D just a supper of salt and a waltz through your empty bed F A7 and all at once it came to me Dm F and i wrote and hunched ’till four - thirty Cm Gm but that vestal light A7 D it burns out with the night G7 Dm in spite of all the time that we spent on it F one bedraggled ghost of a sonnet G D while outside , the wild boars root Bm A7 without bending a bough underfoot C oh it breaks my heart G i don’t know how they do it so don’t ask me and as for my inflammatory writ well , i wrote it an i was not inflamed one bit advice from the master derailed that disaster he said "hand that pen over to me , poetaster!" while across the great plains , keening lovely and awful ululate the last great american novels an unlawful lot , left to stutter and freeze , floodlit D C G A7 D but at least they didn’t run , to their undying credit
