Joanna Newsom – Sadie chords

I used Hackenbush's tab, which is great by the way, I just made it into basic chords.

Song is in 3/4 -- Capo on 4th fret


G  Bm  C  Bm     Sadie, white coat
G       Bm      C       Bmyou carry me home
       G  Bm  C  BmAnd bury this bone 
        G       Bm      C       Bmand take this pine cone

Bm D      Am C  Bury this bone to 
G             Gmaj7Gnaw on it later
EmGnawing on the telephone
Bm      D               Am              CUntil then, we pray and suspend
       G                Gmaj7      EmThe notion that these lives do never end

GAnd all day long we talk about mercy
G                                    C          D       GLead me to water, Lord, I sure am thirsty
GDown in the ditch where I nearly served you
G                                    C          D       GUp in the clouds where he almost heard you

CAnd all that we built and all that we breathed
EmAnd all that we spilt, or pulled up like weeds
G                                  C            D         GIs piled up in back and it burns irrevocably
Em                                            C         D               GAnd we spoke up in turns 'til the silence crept over me

G               Bm              C       Bm       And bless you, and I deeply do
                G    Bm  C  Bm   No longer resolute, oh and I call to you
G          Bm   C  Bm    But the water go so cold
          G       Bm    C            BmAnd you do lose what you don't hold

              Bm        D       Am              CThis is an old song, these are old blues
        G               Gmj7            EmAnd this is not my tune, but it's mine to use
           Bm         D         Am                      CAnd the seabirds where the fear once grew
G                       Gmaj7           EmWill flock with a fury and they will bury what'd come for you

GAnd down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
G                       C       D       GYou and I, and a love so tender
GStretched on a hoop where I stitched this adage:
G                               C       D               G"Bless our house and its heart so savage"

CAnd all that I want, and all that I need
EmAnd all that I've got is scattered like seed
G                               C               D        GAnd all that I knew is moving away from me
Em                              C               D               GAnd all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed

        G               Bm              C               BmAnd the mealy worms in the brine will burn
        G       Bm              C                  BmIn a salty pyre among the fauns and ferns
             G          Bm                  C           BmAnd the love we hold, and the love we spurn
                G       Bm      C       BmWill never grow cold, only taciturn
        G       Bm      C       BmAnd I'll tell you tomorrow
G       Bm      C               BmSadie, go on home now
        G       Bm              C               BmAnd bless those who've sickened below
        G       Bm              C               BmAnd bless us who have chosen so

CAnd all that I've got and all that I need
EmI tie in a knot and I lay at your feet
G                                       C         D                GAnd I have not forgot, but a silence crept over me
Em                              C                       D               GSo dig up your bone, exhume your pine cone, my Sadie
