Joanna Newsom - Goose Eggs chords

(This may not be 100% perfect, but it sounds good to me and nobody else is tabbing it..)


BB        F#F#           A augmentedA
What we built, at the kiln that won?t be stilled
    G+G
Did not set well:
BB            F#F#
The old veil of desire
            A augmentedA
Like the vessels that we fired
    G+G
Fell thin as eggshells


B minorBm           D MajorD
And every season, somebody burns
Downtown, taking turns?

C majorC                G+G
Taking a bus, to take a train and just plain vamoose

B minorBm                   D MajorD
Now the wind blows coals over the hills. Honey
I?ve been paying my bills

C majorC                    G+G
But honey it?s been a long time since I?ve come to any use

B minorBm
And it hurt me bad, when I heard the news
D MajorD
That you?d got that call, and could not refuse
A augmentedA                        E MajorE
(A augmentedA goose, alone, I suppose, can know the loneliness of geese
E MajorE                D MajorD            A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Who never find their peace, whether North, or South, or West, or East, West or East;
E MajorE
And I could never find my way
D MajorD                    A augmentedA
To being the kind of friend you seemed to need in me
G+G        FF
Till the needing had ceased.)
