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


Instrumental:
Em  F   G G#5


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   C
   We are hers, we are hers
