The Divers Wife

音乐人: Joanna Newsom

供谱者:wexman
The other tab on here is wonderful; the only problem I had with it is that the chords 
stop once the progression repeats. So I posted pretty much the same one but de-lazified.

So please enjoy The Diver's Wife, my favorite of Joanna Newsom's new unreleased songs

 Am
The diver is my love
    G            Am        G
and I am his, if I to be deceived
    Fmaj7
who takes one breath above for eve-ry
Am
hour below the sea

     Am
Who gave to me a jewel
      G                  Am    G
worth twice this woman's life, though it cost her less
     Fmaj7
than laying at low tide to see
    Am
her true love phosphoresce.

          C
And in an infinite regress,
        Gm                 Dm
tell me why is the pain of birth
        F                      C
lighter borne than the pain of death?

        G                  F
I ain't saying I loved you first,
      C         Bb
but I loved you best.

  Am
I know we must abide
     G      Am         G
each by the rules that bind us here:
    Fmaj7
the divers and the sailors and
    Am
the women on the pier.

    Am
How do you choose your voice?
    G                  Am                           G
How do you choose your name? How do you choose your life?
    Fmaj7
How do you choose the time you must
      Am
exhale and kick and rise?

          C
And in an infinite capsize,
       Gm                    Dm
like a boat tearing down the coast,
       F                    C
double hulls bearing double masts.
        G                    F
I don't know if you loved me most,
        C        Bb
but you loved me last.

Am
Recall the word you gave
G             Am                             G
to count your way across the depths of this arid world,
Fmaj7
where you will yoke the waves that lay
Am
a bed of shining pearls.

Am
I dream it every night:
G                            Am                            G
the ringing of the pail, the motes of sand dislodged, the shucking, quick and bright
Fmaj
the twinned and cast off shells reveal
Am
a single heart of white.

C
And in an infinite backslide,
Gm                             Dm
ancient boulders sink past the west,
F                      C
like a sword at the bearer's fall.
       G                   F
I don't say that I knew you best,
            C            Bb
but did you know me at all?


Am
A woman is alive, a woman is
G                   Am                 G
alive. You do not take her from your side
Fmaj
An anchor on a stone, alone,
Am
unfaceted and fine.


Am
And never will I wed.
G                       Am                        G
I'll hunt the pearl of death to the bottom of my life,
Fmaj
and ever hold my breath 'til I may
Am
be the diver's wife.

C
See how the infinite divides,
Gm                         Dm
and the divers are not to blame
F                              C
for the rift spanning distant shores.
G                 F
You don't know my name,
C           Bb
but I know yours.
