Hozier – Would That I (Guitar)

F
 True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree

F
 Willow dancin' on air before covering me

Bb
 Under cotton and calicoes

Bb
 Over canopy dappled long ago

F
 True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me

F
 That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree

Bb
 Must be felled for to fight the cold

Bb
 I fretted fire, but that was long ago

F                       Dm  Bb
 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)

F                    Dm   C
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)

Bb
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)

F                    Dm   C
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)

Bb
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)

F                    Bb         F           Bb
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)

F                Bb              F
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

F
 With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet

F
 Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat

Bb
 Settled soft and as pure as snow

Bb
 I fell in love with the fire long ago

F
 With each love I cut loose, I was never the same

F
 Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame

Bb
 I was fixed on your hand of gold

Bb
 Laying waste to my lovin' long ago

F                       Dm  Bb
 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)

F                    Dm   C
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)

Bb
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)

F                    Dm   C
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)

Bb
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)

F                    Bb         F           Bb
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)

F                Bb              F
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

F
 So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain

F
 Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame

Bb
 Long as amber of ember glows

Bb
 All the "would that I loved" is long ago

F                       Dm  Bb
 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)

F                    Dm   C
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)

Bb
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)

F                     Dm  Bb
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)

F                    Dm   C
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)

Bb
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)

F                    Bb         F           Bb
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)

F                Bb              F
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

F              Bb         F       Bb
Oh, oh, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)

F                Bb          F
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
