You Will Not Take My Heart Alive chords by Joanna Newsom

Chords with lyrics

C majorC       Bb majorBb   C majorC
And what do you remember most?
  G minorGm     FF   DmDm     Eb MajorEb
The line of the sea, seceding the coast?
F minorFm    Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb     AbAb
Fine capillaries, glowing with cars?
FF         Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb     FF
The comfort you drew from the light of the stars?

     C majorC      Bb majorBb     C majorC
And how long did you climb that night,
     G minorGm     FF       DmDm      Eb MajorEb
with the ice in your lungs, on the rungs of the light?
F minorFm    Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb     AbAb
Beyond recall, you severed all strings
  FF   Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb   FF
to everyone, and everything.

   C minorCm       F minorFm    C minorCm
Oh, silent, constant driver of mine:
Bb majorBb     C majorC        Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
wordlessly calling from the end of the line,
    Eb MajorEb        G minorGm     AbAb          FF
where, even though each hour I ever loved must queue and dive, still,
C minorCm      Bb majorBb   AbAb   C minorCm
you will not take my heart alive.

  C majorC          Bb majorBb   C majorC
In martial wind, and in clarion rain,
  G minorGm     FF    DmDm     Eb MajorEb
we minced into battle, wincing in pain;
F minorFm       Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb       AbAb
not meant for walking, backs bound in twine:
   FF    Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb    FF
not angel or devil, but level, in time.

    C majorC        Bb majorBb    C majorC
And I rose, to take my shape at last,
     G minorGm       FF     DmDm      Eb MajorEb
from the dreams that had dogged me, through every past,
F minorFm     Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb     AbAb
when, to my soul, the body would say
    FF      Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb      FF
You may do what you like, as long as you stay.

    C minorCm         F minorFm      C minorCm
Now the towns and forests, highways and plains,
Bb majorBb      C majorC        Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb
fall back in circles like an emptying drain.
   Eb MajorEb           G minorGm         AbAb      FF
And I won't come round this way again, where the lonely wind abides,
  C minorCm      Bb majorBb   AbAb   C minorCm
and you will not take my heart, alive.
