Jo chords by Haley Heynderickx

Chords with lyrics

The tab for the intro is repeated throughout the entire song.
I've just written the shapes for the chords so listen to the song for the rhythm,
it isn't exactly the same as I've written it but it's how I play the song

Joan

You are alone

Your kindness

Holding the bee in the folds

Be good or be gone

Oh I slept like a baby

With you in my arms

Oh I slept like a baby
        D7D7
With you in my arms

Out of harm

Be well

Bringer of selves
    A minorAm
And you tended your garden

Like heaven and hell

And you built the birds' houses
       D7D7
To see if it helped at all

And be known

Lover of song
   A minorAm
And I still watch the fig tree

You planted all grow

And it's fruit is the sweetest
        D7D7
That I've ever known

Holding the bee in the folds
