Joanna Newsom - Goose Eggs chords
(This may not be 100% perfect, but it sounds good to me and nobody else is tabbing it..)
B F# A
What we built, at the kiln that won’t be stilled
G
Did not set well:
B F#
The old veil of desire
A
Like the vessels that we fired
G
Fell thin as eggshells
Bm D
And every season, somebody burns
Downtown, taking turns–
C G
Taking a bus, to take a train and just plain vamoose
Bm D
Now the wind blows coals over the hills. Honey
I’ve been paying my bills
C G
But honey it’s been a long time since I’ve come to any use
Bm
And it hurt me bad, when I heard the news
D
That you’d got that call, and could not refuse
A E
(A goose, alone, I suppose, can know the loneliness of geese
E D A F#m
Who never find their peace, whether North, or South, or West, or East, West or East;
E
And I could never find my way
D A
To being the kind of friend you seemed to need in me
G F
Till the needing had ceased.)
[repeat]
