Cosmia Tab

by Joanna Newsom


Finaly, here is Cosmia by the Great Joanna Newsome. This is my
 favorite song by her and I waited forever for it lol. So I decided to make it
myself. These Are the chords (I would Suddgest using mostly bars), and I am working on
tab, but it is extremely!
hard on guitar. When I finish, I will post that too. For now, Enjoi! ( By the way, if I
an x where the chord should be, it means play nothing)


Intro:
Bm    G    Bm    G   ...Or some of the tab:
E|-----9---------------------------9---------------------|
B|--------10--------------------------10-----------------|
G|------------11------13------------------11------13-----|
D|--9-------------12--------------------------12---------|
A|-----------------------------10------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
You Can Play This In Basicaly all Bm-G Parts


                                    
                       
When you ate i saw your eyelashes
Saw them shake like wind on rushes
In the corn field when she called me
Moths surround me
Thought they'd drown me

                                
  And i miss your precious heart
  And i miss your precious heart

                   


                       
Dry rose petals, red round circles
                              
Frame your eyes, and stain your knuckles
Dry rose petals, red round circles
Frame your eyes, and stain your knuckles

                       
        

                                                    
   And all those lonely nights down by the river
                                                      X
Brought me bread and water, water in
                                 
But though i tried so hard my little darling
                                                     
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in


And all those lonely nights down by the river
Brought me bread and water, kith and kin
But in the quiet hour when i am sleepin'
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in

(Instrumental)

                 ....


Why you gone away

Gone away again

I'll sleep through the rest of the day

If you're gone away again
                                           
I'll sleep through the rest of the day
Sleep through the rest of the day
Sleep through the rest of the day

              


Why've you gone

away, away

Seven suns, seven suns

Away, away, away, away

                          
Can you hear me, will you listen
                                   
Don't come near me, don't go missin'
In the lissome light of evenin'
Help me cosmia, i'm grievin'

                       
        

                                                    
   And all those lonely nights down by the river
                                                     X
Brought me bread and water, water in
                                 
But though i tried so hard my little darling
                                                     
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in


And all those lonely nights down by the river
Brought me bread and water, kith and kin
But in the quiet hour when i am sleepin'
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in

                          (faster)

                                                     
                                                 
            
  Beneath the porch light we've all been circlin'
Beat our duck's hearts, singe our flower wings
But in the corner, somethin's happenin'
Wild cosmia - what have you seen?

                                            
           
Water Were your limbs, and the fire was your hair

                                           
          

                              
And in the moonlight caught your eye
                                        
And you rose through the air
                                                        
Well if you seen true light, then this is my prayer,
                                                       
Will you call me when you get there?

                             
And i miss your precious heart


And  miss

And  miss   x7
                       
And miss your  heart

                

                             
But release your precious heart
                                 
To its feast, for precious heart


              

 Dum Dum...........

Well, there you go, I took me the whole night, so I hope you like it!
