Joanna Newsom – 81 (Guitar)

  Am              F
I found a little plot of land

       C         G
in the garden of Eden

       Am                F      G
it was dirt and dirt is all the same

  Am                F
I tilled it with my two hands

       C             G
and I called it my very own

          Am         F           Am  (Am  G  Am)
There was no one to dispute my claim

       C                      G
Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things

          Am             F              G
The whole place had just cleared right out

        Am         F          C       G
It was hotter than hell, so I lay me by a spring

      Am       F          Am  (Am  G  Am)
For a spell as naked as a trout

     C                  G
The wandering eye that I have caught

      Am        F        G
Is as hot as a wandering sun

    Am               F                  C
But I will want for nothing more, in my garden

G
Start again

      Am                 F         Am (Am  G  Am)
In my hardening to every heart but one

Am             F         C     G
Meet me in the garden of Eden; bring a friend

Am                      F        G      
We are going to have ourselves a time

Am                   F             C      G
We have are going to have a garden party; it's on me

Am       F      Am  (Am  G  Am)
No sirree, it's my dime

    C                       G
We broke our hearts in the war between

    Am             F   G
St. George and the dragon

    Am            F          C         G
But both in equal parts are welcome to come along

Am            F     Am (Am  G  Am)
I'm inviting everyone

C                       G
Farewell, to loves that I have known

     Am        F      G
Even muddiest waters run

         Am              F                   C
Tell me what is meant by sin, or none in a garden

    G             Am         F          Am (Am  G  Am)
Seceded from the union in the year of '81?

     C         G
The unending amends you've made

    Am             F         G
Are enough for one life; be done

    Am           F                 C        G
But I believe in innocence, little darling; start again

Am             F   Am (Am  G  Fmaj7)
I believe in everyone

   Am        G           Am            F   Am
I believe, regardless; I believe in everyone
