Someone New chords by Hozier

Guitar chords with lyrics

This is how he plays it live, solo, plus the cello intro transposed as right as I could get it in standard.
I got most of this from listening to live versions of the song; few if any tabs out there are right but I'd bet
this one is closest.  Enjoy, and please comment.

Cello intro, plucked.  Transposed for guitar, palm mute guitar for effect
(This is close.  Certainly missing the low C seventh note, I play the same C as the sixth note or an open E)

Intro:
G Bm7 C  D (repeat twice)


Verse 1:
G               Bm7 C               D
Don't take this the wrong way
Slide Em7      D/A            Bm7  C
You knew who I was every step that I ran to you
G        Bm7 C                      D
Only blue or black days
Slide Em7           D/A             G         C
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I choose


Bridge
C7                  Bm7                   slide Em7
    Would things be easier if there was a right way
      Dm7         C7      C7
Honey there is no right way

Chorus (repeat 4 times)
         G                          Bm7        C
And so I fall in love just a little ol' little bit
                     D
every day with someone new


Verse 2
G                   Bm7   C            D
There's an art to life's distractions
slide Em7           D/A                  Bm7         C
Somehow escapes the burning weight the art of scraping through
G         Bm7  C      D
Some like to imagine
slide Em            D/A             G         C
The dark caress of someone else I guess any thrill will do


Bridge
C7                 Bm7                    slide Em
    Would things be easier if there was a right way
      Dm7         C7      C7
Honey there is no right way


Chorus (repeat 4 times)
         G                              Bm7
And so I fall in love just a little ol' little bit
C                      D
every day with someone new


Bridge 2
Am                             Em
I awake at the first cringe of morning
C7(2)  B7              Em
And my heart's already sinned.
C7(2)                B7            Em  (palm mute)
How pure how sweet a love, Aretha, that you would pray for him


Chorus (a cappella)
?Cause God knows
I fall in love just a little ol' little bit
every day with someone new (repeat 6 times)


Outro
G               Bm7      C                       D
Love with every stranger the stranger the better        (repeat 6 times)
G                     Bm7        C                                   D
I fall in love just a little ol' little bit every day with someone new
(repeat until end ~4 times)
