Yuki Onna chords by Adrianne Lenker

• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: D

Difficulty: Novice

Performance notes:

Capo 2

Key: C + 2 = D major

I feel the song in a very slow 2/4, quarter = 44.

This is for the most part a very simple and slow strumming song, but Buck does play with some melodic
stepwise stuff as he moves between chords. I wrote out some of these as chords, but there are more; for
instance, hammer on 0h2 on the fourth string when moving from Em to F in the chorus, and play the bass F#
when moving from G to F. Note also that he's playing more on the lower strings than the higher ones.

Intro:
C Csus2 C


Verse 1:
C          Em
  Follow me to the wood
       F
Through the dew fields and the bog
    G             C   Csus2
I'll show you what I saw last November
  Em                  F
As autumn's curtain closed something opened
     G
Something old
C           Em
  No one seems to believe
     F
In the stories that I tell
   G
So I keep them to myself
    C  Em        F
But you see shadows too my friend
   G   G#5
My friend


Chorus:
Am       F
  Something is watching us
C       G
  From behind
F        C      G
  An eye that cannot close
F      C    E     F
  Until the morning blinds and burns
F     Fm      C   Csus2
  We are hers, we are hers


Verse 2:
C        Em     F    G
  In an evening gown of grey blooms
     C
Rose the witch
   Em
The bitch
      F   G
The wicked worm
C        Em         F
 With one cold kiss from her black lips
   G       C Csus2
We froze, we froze

  An eye that cannot close
F      C    E     F
  Until the morning blinds and burns
F     Fm      C   Csus2  C
  We are hers, we are hers
