Artist: Joanna Newsom Song: Jackrabbits Album: Have One on Me [Verse 1]
      Dm             C
I was tired of being drunk

   Am                  F
My face cracked like a joke

     C                         G
So I swung through here like a brace of jackrabbits

           Bb        F
With their necks all broke
[Verse 2]
  Dm              C
I stumbled at the door with my boot

      Am                  F
And I knocked against the jamb

      C                 G
And I scrabbled at your chest like a mute

        Bb       F
With my fists of ham
[Chorus 1]
F    G    Am              F  F  G
Trying to tell you that I am

Am            F    C
Telling you I can

Bm Am
I can love you again

Dm       C
Love you again

     Bb   C
Love you again
[Verse 3]
    Dm                    C
I'm squinting towards the East

   Am               F
My faith makes me a dope

            C                   G
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling

       Bb        F
Like a length of rope
[Verse 4]
  Dm             C
I shaped up overnight, you know

    Am            F
The day after she died

       C                   G
When I saw my heart, and I tell you, darling

       Bb   F
It was open wide
[Chorus 2]
F    G    Am            F  F  G
What with telling you I am

Am      F       G
Telling I can

C Bb Am
I can love you again

Dm       C
Love you again

     Bb  C
Love you again
[Verse 5]
       Dm          C
And it can have no bounds, you know

Am             F
It can have no end

            C                   G
But you can take my hand in the darkness, darling

         Bb     F
When you need a friend
[Verse 6]
           Dm        C               Bb
And it can change in shape and form

    Am              F
But never change in size

          C              G
Well, the water, it runs deep, my darling

         Bb        F
Where it don't run wide
[Verse 7]
    Dm           C
The feather of a hawk was bound

      Am        F
Bound around my neck

  C                G
A poultice made of fig

                 Bb       F
The eager little vultures peck
[Verse 8]
        Dm              C
And the verse I read in jest

   Am               F
In Matthew spoke to me

                C                       G
Said, there's a flame that moves like a low-down pest

            Bb          F
That says, "you will be free"
[Chorus 3]
F G  Am          F     F  G
Only tell me that I can

Am           F       G
Tell me that I can

C Bb Am
I can love you again

Dm       C
Love you again

     Bb  C
Love you again

Dm       C
Love you again

     Bb  C
Love you again
