Jackie and Wilson – Hozier
Capo 1
[Intro]
C Dm F (C/E)
C Dm Em F (C/E)
[Verse]
C Dm F (C/E)
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
C Dm Em F (C/E)
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
C Dm Em F (C/E)
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine
Dm F C
For reasons wretched and divine
C Dm F (C/E)
She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild
C Dm Em F (C/E)
Laughing her way through my feeble disguise
C Dm Em F (C/E)
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
Dm F C
And lord she found me just in time
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em F
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
Dm Bb Bm C
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause god I never felt young
[Chorus]
C Dm F (C/E)
She's gonna save me call me 'baby' run her hands through my hair
C Dm F (C/E)
She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
Am Em F (C/E)
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues
C Dm F
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise 'em on rhythm and blues
[Verse]
C Dm F (C/E)
Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
C Dm Em F (C/E)
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
C Dm Em F (C/E)
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
Dm F C
Sit back and watch the world go by
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em F
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
Dm Bb Bm C
We tried the world good god it wasn't for us
[Chorus]
C Dm F (C/E)
She's gonna save me call me 'baby' run her hands through my hair
C Dm F (C/E)
She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
Am Em F (C/E)
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues
C Dm F
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise 'em on rhythm and blues
[Instrumental]
Am Em-F Em-F Em C
Am Em-F Em-F Em C
Am Em-F Em-F Em C
Dm Bb Bm C
[Verse]
C Dm F (C/E)
Cut clean from the dream that night let my mind reset
C Dm F (C/E)
Lookin' up from a cigarette and she's already left
C Dm Em F (C/E)
I start diggin' up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
Dm F C
For whatever poor soul is coming next
[Chorus]
C Dm F (C/E)
She's gonna save me call me 'baby' run her hands through my hair
C Dm F (C/E)
She'll know me crazy soothe me daily better yet she wouldn't care
Am Em F (C/E)
We'll steal a Lexus be detectives ride 'round picking up clues
C Dm F
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise 'em on rhythm and blues
