Swan Upon Leda Acoustic Chords by Hozier

Capo 2

[Intro]
 
C
 
[Verse 1]
 
   C       Dm     Am
A husband waits outside
          G               C             F      Am
A crying child pushes a child into the night
          C            Dm        Am
She was told he would come this time
          G                   C       F      Am
Without leaving so much as a feather behind
              G/B        C      E
To enact, at last, the perfect plan
                C     G      F
One more sweet boy to be butchered by men
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         Dm     C       G/B
But the gateway to the world
                       C       F      Am
Was still outside the reach of him
       Dm     C        G/B
Would never belong to angels
            C          F     Am
Had never belonged to man
     Dm   C    G/B   E
The swan upon Leda
  F              C
Empire upon Jerusalem
 
[Verse 2]
 
    C          Dm        Am
A grandmother smuggling meds
               G                    C             F      Am
Past where the god-child soldier, Sétanta, stood dead
      C        Dm        Am
Our graceful turner of heads
                     G                  C          F       Am
Weaves through the checkpoints like a needle and thread
             G/B          C        E
Someone's frightened boy waves her on
     C        G                  F
She offers a mother's smile and soon, she's gone
 
[Chorus]
 
     Dm     C       G/B
The gateway to the world
                C       F      Am
The gun in a trembling hand
        Dm     C          G/B
Where nature unmakes the boundary
      C        F           Am
The pillar of myth still stands
     Dm   C    G/B   E
The swan upon Leda
  F                     C
Occupier upon ancient land
 
 
[Outro]
 
 
     Dm     C       G/B
The gateway to the world
                       C       F      Am
Was still outside the reach of him
       Dm     C        G/B
Would never belong to angels
            F          C
Had never belonged to man

Would That I Chords by Hozier

[Intro]
D  G

[Verse 1]
D
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree

Willow dancin' on air before covering me
G
Under garden and calicos
                             D
Over canopy dabbled long ago
D
True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me

That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
G
Must be felt 'fore the fight, the call
                                     D
Friendly fire, but that was long ago


[Chorus]
D                       Bm  G   D
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                     Bm  G   D
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
                    Bm  A   G
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
G
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D                       Bm  G   D
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                        Bm  G   D
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                     Bm  A   G
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
    D                G          D           G
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                G           D
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

[Instrumental]
D  G

[Verse 2]
D
With the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feet

Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat
G
Feel it soft and as pure as snow
                                    D
Fell in love with the fire long ago
D
With each love I could lose, I was never the same

Watch it still live in roofs, be consumed by the flame
G
I was fixed on your hand of gold
                                   D
Lay in waste of my lovin' long ago


[Chorus]
D                       Bm  G   D
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                     Bm  G   D
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
                    Bm  A   G
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
G
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D                       Bm  G   D
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                        Bm  G   D
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                     Bm  A   G
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
    D                G          D           G
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                G           Bm           G     Bm     Em G
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

[Verse 3]
D
So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain

Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
G
Long as amber of ember glows
                                        D
All the wood that I'd loved is long ago


[Chorus]
D                       Bm  G   D
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                     Bm  G   D
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
                    Bm  A   G
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
G
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
D                       Bm  G   D
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
                        Bm  G   D
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
                     Bm  A   G
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
G
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
D           G          D            G
Hope you're good to me, hope you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                G
Hope that you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D   G   D           G           D      G
Oh, oh, hope you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
D                G           D
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

Be Chords by Hozier

C6 x32210

[Intro]
| Em | D | C | Am B |

[Verse 1]
Em                                           D
 When all the worst we fear lets fall its weight
                                      C
When the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks
                                   Am
When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates
     B                                Em
When Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake
                                        D
When the birds are heard again in their singin'
                                C
Once atrocity is hoarse from voicin' shame
                                              Am
And when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'
         B                           C6
With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Be, be, be, be, be
G
Be as you've always been
C
Be, be, be, be, be
Am
Be as you've always been
(Lover, be good to me)

[Chorus 1]
Em
 Be as you've always been (Lover, be good to me)
G
 Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover, be good to me)
     C                            Am
That freed the first man and will do so again
     Em
And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Em
 Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)
     G
It's been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed (Lover, be good to me)
      C                       Am
Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?
    Em
Oh, lover, be good to me

[Instrumental]
| Em | D |

[Verse 2]
           Em
When the man who gives the order
   D
Is born next time 'round on the boat sent back
         C
When the bodies starvin' at the border
       Am                   B
Are on TV givin' people the sack
             Em
Oh, when the sea rises to meet us
                 D
Oh, when there's nothin' left for you and I to do
                   C
Oh, when there's nobody upstairs to receive us
            Am                           B    C6
When I have no kind words left, love for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
Be, be, be, be, be
G
Be as you've always been
C
Be, be, be, be, be
Am
Be as you've always been
(Lover, be good to me)

[Chorus 2]
  Em
Ah, be love in its disrepute (Lover, be good to me)
G
 Scorches the hillside and salts every root (Lover, be good to me)
    C                        Am
And watches the slowin' and starvin' of troops
     Em
And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Em
 Be there and just as you stand (Lover, be good to me)
G
 Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand (Lover, be good to me)
               C                    Am
That will grow bold in a barren and desolate land
    Em
Oh, lover, be good to me

[Outro]
                Em
Love, won't you be
Love, won't you be
             G
Be as you've always been?
                C
Love, won't you be
                Am
Love, won't you be
             Em
Be as you've always been?
                Em
Love, won't you be
Love, won't you be
             G
Be as you've always been?
                C
Love, won't you be
                Am
Love, won't you be
             Em            Em
Be as you've always been?

Wasteland Baby Chords by Hozier

[Intro]
D D5 D D5   (x2)
G
D

[Verse 1]
        D            D5          D          D5
All the fear and the fire of the end of the world
        D           D5           D           D5
Happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl
        G
Happens great, happens sweet
                            D
Happily, I'm unfazed here, too

[Chorus]
D          Bm       A
Wasteland, baby
G                   Em        D
I'm in love, I'm in love with you

[Verse 2]
        D             D5           D                D5
All the things yet to come are the things that have passed
         D          D5              D           D5
Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass
         G                                                  D
Like the bonfire that burns, at all worth in the fight fell too

[Chorus]
D          Bm       A
Wasteland, baby
G                   Em        D
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
D
And I love too, that love soon might end
                Em
Be known in its aching

Shown in the shaking
                        D
Lately of my wasteland, baby
D                                            Em
Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking

Though quaking, though crazy
                       D
That's just wasteland, baby

[Verse 3]
         D           D5        D            D5
And that day that we watch the death of the sun
         D             D5             D              D5
That the cloud and the cold and those jeans you have on
        G                                         D
And you gaze unafraid as they sob from the city ruins

[Chorus]
D          Bm     A
Wasteland, baby
G                   Em        D
I'm in love, I'm in love with you
D
And I love too, that love soon might end
                Em
Be known in its aching

Shown in the shaking
                        D
Lately of my wasteland, baby
D                                            Em
Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking

Though quaking, though crazy
                       D
That's just wasteland, baby

[Bridge]
         D           D5        D            D5
And the stench of the sea and the absence of green
         D           D5        D            D5
Are the death of all things that are seen and unseen
       G                                                 D
Not an end, but the start of all things that are left to do

[Chorus]
D          Bm
Wasteland, baby
G                   Em        D
I'm in love, I'm in love with you

That's it

Sunlight Chords by Hozier

Capo 3

[Intro]
Em

[Verse 1]
        A               D                G
I would shun the light, sharin' evenings cool and quiet
C                 B
Who betrayed that I’m the night
    D         G         Em
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
              A
But his heart would not take flight
D                  G
Betray the moon as acolyte
C                       B
I'm first and fierce if I'm in sight
   D         G         Em
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

[Chorus]
                    D
I have been lost in sunlight
                         A             Em
Flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
               B7
All we love is sunlight
               C
All we love is sunlight
G         Em
But it is sunlight

[Verse 2]
        A
All the titles the same
D               G
Told before and told again
C                   B
Soul that’s born in cold and rain
    D         G         Em
Oh, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
         A
At last, came burgeoning
D               G
To bury it in a burning flame
C                      B
It's love and it's decisive pain
       D         G         Em
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

[Chorus]
                          D
All that was shown to me, sunlight
                                   A            Em
There's somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
               B7
All we love is sunlight
               C
All we love is sunlight
G         Em
But it is sunlight
               B7
All we love is sunlight
               C
All we love is sunlight
G         Em
But it is sunlight, sunlight

[Bridge]
C       D     G      Bm7
Oh, and these colors fade for you
Am   B   Em       D          G
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
C       D     G
Oh, and these colors fade for you
Am   B   Em       D          G
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight

[Interlude]
Em

[Verse 3]
              A              D
Each day, you rise with me
D                 G
Know that I would gladly be
C                  B
The Icarus to your certainty
       D         G         Em
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
          A
You strap the weight of me
D                 G
A death trap clad happily
C                  B
With wax melted, I need to see
      D         G         Em
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

[Final Chorus]
               B7
All we love is sunlight
               C
All we love is sunlight
G         Em
But it is sunlight
               B7
All we love is sunlight
               C
All we love is sunlight
G         Em
But it is sunlight
               B7
All we love is sunlight
               C
All we love is sunlight
G         Em
But it is sunlight
               B7
All we love is sunlight
               C
All we love is sunlight
G         Em
But it is sunlight

Em
