Cherokee chords by Cat Power

Cherokee - Cat Power
Sun (2012)

This is my attempt at this beautiful opener from Cat Power's forthcoming album "Sun".

Little riff repeated at the beginning and the end of the song:

B --3-3-3-3-7-7-----5-5--
G --------------4-4------

Whole song:

D --2--0--5--4-- (8 times each note) --> (this is what Chan plays in the live version)

or you can play chords instead:

E - D - G - F#


E                  D
Never knew love like this
G                  F#
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky (sky so high)
E                  D
Never knew pain like this
G            F#
Everything die, (then die)
E                  D
Never knew love like this
G                F#
The sun, the sea and I
E                  D           G
Never knew pain, never knew shame
   F#
Now I know why

E                  D
Bury me, marry me to the sky
G                  F#
Marry, marry me to the sky
E                  D
Feels like time is on my time
G             F#
Bury me upside down
E               D
Cherokee, kissing me
G               F#
When I’m, I’m going down
E               D
Feels like time is on my time

Bury me upside down
E            D
Cherokee, kissing me

Never knew love like this
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky (sky so high)
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, (then die)
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea and I
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why

Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down, down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I’m, I’m going down.
