Joanna Newsom - 81

81

capo on fifth

Am F
i found a little plot of land
C G
in the garden of eden

Am F G
it was dirt and dirt is all the same

Am F
i tilled it with my two hands
C G
and i called it my very own
Am F Am ( Am , G , Am )
there was no one to dispute my claim .

C G
well , you’d be shocked at the state of things
Am F G
the whole place had just cleared right out
Am F C G
it was hot in hell , so i lay me by a spring
Am F Am ( Am , G , Am )
for a spell as naked as a trout

Am , F , C , G
Am , F , Am ( Am , G , Am )

C G
the wandering eye that i have caught
Am F G
is as hot as a wandering sun
Am F C
but i will want for nothing more , in the garden
G
start again
Am F Am ( Am , G , Am )
in my heart and into every heart but one

Am F C
meet me in the garden of eden ,
G Am F G
bring a friend , we are going to have ourselves a time
Am F C
we have are going to have a garden party ,
G Am F Am ( Am , G , Am )
it’s on me , no sir – E , it’s my dime

C G
we broke our hearts in the war between
Am F G
st . george and the dragon
Am F C G
but both in equal parts are welcome to come along
Am F Am ( Am , G , Am )
i’m inviting everyone

Am , F , C , G
Am , F , A ( Am , G , Am )

C G
farewell , to loves that i have known
Am F G
even muddiest waters run
Am F C
tell me what is meant by sin , or none , in a garden ,
G Am F Am ( Am , G , Am )
seceded from the union in the year of ’81?

C G
the unending amends you made
Am F G
are enough for one life , be done
Am F C G
i believe in innocence , little darling , start again
Am F Am ( Am , G , Fmaj7 )
i believe in everyone
Am G Am F Am
i believe , regardless , i believe in everyone .
