Sadie chords by Joanna Newsom

Chords with lyrics

Song is in 3/4 -- Capo on 4th fret

G+G B minorBm C majorC B minorBm
Sadie, white coat
G+G    B minorBm   C majorC    B minorBm
you carry me home
    G+G B minorBm C majorC B minorBm
And bury this bone
    G+G    B minorBm   C majorC    B minorBm
and take this pine cone

B minorBm D MajorD   A minorAm C majorC
Bury this bone to
G+G       Gmaj7Gmaj7
Gnaw on it later
E minorEm
Gnawing on the telephone
B minorBm   D MajorD        A minorAm       C majorC
Until then, we pray and suspend
    G+G        Gmaj7Gmaj7   E minorEm
The notion that these lives do never end

G+G
And all day long we talk about mercy
G+G                  C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
Lead me to water, Lord, I sure am thirsty
G+G
Down in the ditch where I nearly served you
G+G                  C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
Up in the clouds where he almost heard you

C majorC
And all that we built and all that we breathed
E minorEm
And all that we spilt, or pulled up like weeds
G+G                 C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
Is piled up in back and it burns irrevocably
E minorEm                      C majorC     D MajorD        G+G
And we spoke up in turns 'til the silence crept over me

G+G        B minorBm       C majorC    B minorBm
And bless you, and I deeply do
        G+G  B minorBm C majorC B minorBm
No longer resolute, oh and I call to you
G+G     B minorBm  C majorC B minorBm
But the water go so cold
     G+G    B minorBm  C majorC      B minorBm
And you do lose what you don't hold

B minorBm    D MajorD    A minorAm       C majorC
This is an old song, these are old blues
    G+G        Gmj7      E minorEm
And this is not my tune, but it's mine to use
      B minorBm     D MajorD     A minorAm           C majorC
And the seabirds where the fear once grew
G+G            Gmaj7Gmaj7      E minorEm
Will flock with a fury and they will bury what'd come for you

G+G
And down where I darn with the milk-eyed mender
G+G            C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
You and I, and a love so tender
G+G
Stretched on a hoop where I stitched this adage:
G+G                C majorC    D MajorD        G+G
"Bless our house and its heart so savage"

C majorC
And all that I want, and all that I need
E minorEm
And all that I've got is scattered like seed
G+G                C majorC        D MajorD    G+G
And all that I knew is moving away from me
E minorEm               C majorC        D MajorD        G+G
And all that I know is blowing like tumbleweed

G+G        B minorBm       C majorC        B minorBm
And the mealy worms in the brine will burn
    G+G    B minorBm       C majorC         B minorBm
In a salty pyre among the fauns and ferns
       G+G     B minorBm         C majorC      B minorBm
And the love we hold, and the love we spurn
        G+G    B minorBm   C majorC    B minorBm
Will never grow cold, only taciturn
    G+G    B minorBm   C majorC    B minorBm
And I'll tell you tomorrow
G+G    B minorBm   C majorC        B minorBm
Sadie, go on home now
    G+G    B minorBm       C majorC        B minorBm
And bless those who've sickened below
    G+G    B minorBm       C majorC        B minorBm
And bless us who have chosen so

C majorC
And all that I've got and all that I need
E minorEm
I tie in a knot and I lay at your feet
G+G                    C majorC     D MajorD        G+G
And I have not forgot, but a silence crept over me
E minorEm               C majorC            D MajorD        G+G
So dig up your bone, exhume your pine cone, my Sadie
