Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie Chords by Joanna Newsom

[B] That means no
Where I come from _ I
am cold
I'm waiting for the day to come
I chew my lips Oh
And I scratch my nose
_ Feels so good [F#] to [E] be A rose
_ _ Oh [B] don't
Don't you lift me up
_ Like I'm that shy no no no no just give it up
[F#] _ [E] There are bats [F#] all dissolving [B] in a row Oh
[E] Into the wishy [F#]-washy dark that [G#m] cannot let [E] go
And I cannot [B] let go
So I thank the Lord
_ And I thank his sword
Though it be mincing up the morning so lightly
[G#m] Like _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] [B] a hole
[F#] Oh and [E] I watch you go
There _ _ [B] are some mornings when the sky looks like a [E] road
There are some [B] dragons who were built to have [E] an home
And some [B] machines are dropped from great [F#] heights
[G#m] _
Lovingly
And some [B] great bellies ache [E] with many bumblebees
[B] And they [F#] sting [E] so
Terribly I _ do as [B] I please
Now I'm on my knees
_ Your skin is something that I stir [F#] into [G#m] my tea
And I [E] am watching you
And _ you [G#m] are starry starry starry
_ And [B] I'm tumbling down to check [E] a frown
That's _ _ why I love this [B] town
We'll just look around
To [G#m] see me serenading
And celebrating
_ _ [E] _
Dedicated Dowdly
_ [F#] Waltzing with the open [B] sea
_ _ _ _ Slam crab [E] cock will carry
_ _ _ [F#] Oh, you just look [G#m] at me
_ _ _ _ Oh
[B] _
[E] Oh
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [F#m] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ Oh
[B] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ [E] _
_ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
