As recorded by PJ Harvey (From the 2023 Album INSIDE THE OLD YEAR DYING) [Intro] Am [Verse 1]

Am
Hark the greening of the earth

                         F
Curl-ed ferns yet to uncurl

                            Am
Hark the zingen of the birds

Am
Gurrel yearns yet to un-girl

[Verse 2]

Am
Beech and aller, woak and birch

                                F
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel’s drey

                           Dm
Willow, aspen, elder, larch

                         E
Soldier-King on Maundy day

[Chorus 1]

E                         Am
In her satchel, Pepsi fizz

                           G
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches

                            E
For this man her shepherd is

                             Dm    Am
Parts her bready, her bready lips

[Verse 3]

Am
"Are you Elvis? Are you God?

                        F
Jesus sent to win my trust?"

                               Dm
"Love Me Tender" are his words

                            E
As I've loved you, so you must

[Chorus 2]

E                                 Am
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss

                              G
Mouthing for his mouth in vain

                                E
Thrice her lwonesome kisses miss

                              D
"My love, will you come back again?"

[Outro] Am
