Joanna Newsom: Divers - Waltz of the 101st Lightborne Chords

[Am] I believed it [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ came forth
I [F] _ believed [Bb] our peril was [D]
done
_ _ _ _ [Am] On the [Bb] eve of the last of the great wars
[F] After three [Bb] we had narrowly won
[Dm] _ _ _ _
But [F] fourth [Bb] it was carelessly [F] _ done
_ [E] Saw [Dm] his _ ship's [Gm] _ whistling [C] _ _
_ [Eb] ascension
[Ab] As they launched [F] from the capital [G] sea _ _ _
Where [Bb] I saw [E] our mistake
And [A]
the _ [Dm] clouds parade [Bb] like a flag
[Eb] Crossed the backs [F] of the fleet _
_ _ [Bb] For the hundredth [Eb] first light born [F] _ elite
_ _ [A] As the day is [Bb] long
_ [Dm] So the _ [F] welcome's bright
[Eb] And we came to see time [Bb] is taller [F] than space
And the hazy [C] sky
[Am] And we bid goodbye
[Bb] _ To the [Dm] great [F] river
_ _ [Eb] And it's [Bb] in your name
We could [F] reach the call [C] hall in nine
But there was a [Am] time
We [Bb] were last _ _ _ _ _
_ For [F] the ship you [Bb] made board
But [Dm] not steer
_ _ [Am] Before you [Bb] and I
_ Eased to mean _ now
[F] And began to [Bb] mean only right [Dm] here
To _ [F] mean in [Bb] shades and miles
[F] But not here
_ _ _ [Am] [Dm] Before _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] it's [Eb] land
And it's our [Ab] name
_ [F] So the board meet our [G] woe
_ And we'll [Bb] come _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[Dm] again _ _ [Bb] Bearing [Eb] weight Taking fire [F] Trading smoke _ _
[Bb] In a war between [Eb] us and our [F]
goals
_ _ But [A] I saw the bearing [Dm] [Bb] stray
In the [Dm] cold [E] [F] and haze
[Eb] In silence [Bb] I spent _ time
[F] Now they're golden [C] age
You can barely [F] _ [Bb] tell
If I [Dm] got it [F] well
_ [Eb] _ I've [Bb] been unseen In [F] pristine
_ [C] _ Unfelt
And I haven't [Am] lived
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ In _ a ship
Open those telescope [Dm] _ rooms
_ _ [Am] It was there
[Bb] That you called to [Dm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ love
Who [F] was [Bb] pale as millennial [Dm] moons _ _
Honey, [F] _ where did [Bb] you come by that?
[F] _ _ _ _ You [Dm] never
_ It [Gm] was
The _ [C] war [Eb] has begun
_ [Ab] In eternal _
[F] return and [G] repeat
_ We're calling
[Bb] _ We're [E] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ fellow [Bb] _
101
[Eb] Light [F] born aleep _
Stormed in
[Bb] A new [Eb] highland light [F] infantry
_ _ _ _ _ [Am]
Needed some my [Bb] love
[Dm] We were wrong [F] to try
[Eb] Never saw what we [Bb] could
Under half-worn [F] and dry
How was [C] it like?
Or [Am] how did we have to be [Bb] bright?
_ [Dm] Like a snake
[F] _ _ So [Eb] we saw where the [Bb] tide Was tall
[F] Around the space
[C] _ Why?
It's why we [Am] got bound
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] Meet the sky
Where [Bb] our sailors have [Dm] gone _ _
Had they [Am] drowned
It _ [Bb] was windy
_ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ Highlands away _ _ [F]
my child
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _

_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ Highlands [Bb]
away _ [F] my child _ _
