Finaly, here is Cosmia by the Great Joanna Newsome. This is my
favorite song by her and I waited forever for it lol. So I decided to make it
myself. These Are the chords (I would Suddgest using mostly bars), and I am working on
tab, but it is extremely!
hard on guitar. When I finish, I will post that too. For now, Enjoi! ( By the way, if I
an x where the chord should be, it means play nothing)
Intro:
Bm G Bm G ...Or some of the tab:
E|-----9---------------------------9---------------------|
B|--------10--------------------------10-----------------|
G|------------11------13------------------11------13-----|
D|--9-------------12--------------------------12---------|
A|-----------------------------10------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
This can be used throughout the Bm-G parts.

When you ate i saw your eyelashes
Saw them shake like wind on rushes
In the corn field when she called me
Moths surround me
Thought they'd drown me
Bm G Bm G
And i miss your precious heart
And i miss your precious heart
Bm G A Bm
Bm G
Dry rose petals, red round circles
A Bm
Frame your eyes, and stain your knuckles
Dry rose petals, red round circles
Frame your eyes, and stain your knuckles

And all those lonely nights down by the river
Em D X
Brought me bread and water, water in
Bm Em G
But though i tried so hard my little darling
Bm G D
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in
And all those lonely nights down by the river
Brought me bread and water, kith and kin
But in the quiet hour when i am sleepin'
I couldn't keep the night from comin' in
(Instrumental)

Beneath the porch light we've all been circlin'
Beat our duck's hearts, singe our flower wings
But in the corner, somethin's happenin'
