Chords for Hozier - Work Song - Cologne, Germany - February 21, 2019

_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm singing you another song from the first record, which is, happens to be one of my
favorites from it, I think.
And this is quite a fitting, quite a fitting place for it.
I'm
often mortified playing in churches [N] because, as my drummer pointed out to me yesterday,
it makes a lot of my work redundant once I've been taken here.
But then, that's a joke,
don't I?
But then, also, I just, I find a lot of the work is, but it's wonderful.
I
want to say a very, very sincere thank you to Pastor Thomas for allowing so many shows
here and allowing us to play here.
It's a beautiful room.
But this next song is a bit
more fitting, I think.
It's a song called Work Song.
_ Yeah, it's [G]
sonically fitting.
Lyrically,
I think it's, [F] I should be just as mortified, really. _ _

_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ So full of love I could barely eat.
There's nothing sweeter than my [Cm] baby.
[Bb] I'd never want
once from a [Cm] cherry tree.
[Bb] _ Sweet [Cm] as can be.
She [Bb] gives me toothaches just from kissing.
[Gm] _ [F] My time [Bb] comes around.
Lay me gently in the [Cm] cold, dark [Gm] earth.
No [F] grave can hold my [Bb] body down.
I'm prone to earth.
When my baby [C] found me, [Bb] I was three days on a [C] drunken sin.
[Bb] I woke
up.
The walls around me.
Nothing in her room but an empty crib.
_ _ [Cm] Fever.
[Bb] Didn't care much how [Cm] long I lived.
[Bb] I swear I thought I dreamed her.
She never asked me once about the wrong I did.
[Gm] When [F] my time [Bb] comes around, lay me gently in the [Cm] cold, dark [Gm] earth.
No [F] grave can hold my [Bb] body down.
I'm prone to earth.
_ [Gm] When [F] my time comes [Bb] around, lay me gently in the cold, [Cm] dark earth.
[Gm] No grave
[F] can hold my body [Bb] down.
I'm prone to earth.
_ I would never [G] fret none [F] about what my hands and my body [G] done.
[F] _ Forgive me.
I'd still have mom's kidney if my baby would help me.
[Bb] But I was kissing on my [Cm] baby.
[Bb] She put her love down [Cm] soft and [Bb] slow.
In the long flight I was free.
Heaven and hell were words to me.
_ _ [F] Time comes [Bb] around.
Lay me gently in the cold, [Cm] dark [Gm] earth.
No grave [F] can hold my body [Bb] down.
I'm prone to earth.
_ [Gm] When [F] my time comes [Bb] around, lay me gently in the cold, [Cm] dark earth.
[Gm] No grave can hold my [Bb] body down.
I'm prone to earth.
[Gm] When my [G] time [Eb] comes around, lay me gently _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Gm] in the cold, dark [C] earth.
No grave can hold my body down.
I'm prone to earth.
