Swan Upon Leda chords and lyrics - HOZIER

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]A husband wai[Em]ts outside
[Bm]A crying child[A] pushes
a child [D]into the [G]night[Bm]
She was [D]told he would [Em]come this [Bm]time
Without leav[A]ing so much as
[D]a feather [G]behind[Bm]
To enact at [A]last [D]the per[F#]fect plan
One more sweet [Bm]boy to [A]be
[G]butchered by man

[Verse 2]
But [Em]the gateway [D]to the [A]world
Was still outside the reach [D]of him[G][Bm]
Would [Em]never be[D]longed to [A]angels
Had never be[D]longed [G]to [Bm]men
[Em]The swan [D]upon [A]Leda[F#]
Em[G]pire upon Jerusalem
[D]

[Verse 3]
A grandmother smug[Em]gling [Bm]meds
Past where the god [A]child-soldier
[D]Setanta [G]stood [Bm]dead
Our [D]graceful turn[Em]er of h[Bm]eads
Weaves through [A]the checkpoints like
[D]a needle and [G]thread[Bm]
Someone's frightened
[A]boy [D]waves her [F#]on
She offers a mother[Bm]'s sm[G]ile,
[A]and [G]soon she's gone

[Verse 4]
[Em]The gateway [D]to [A]the world
The gun in a [D]trembling [G]han[Bm]d
Where [Em]nature [D]unmakes the [A]boundary
The pillar of [D]myth still [G]stands[Bm]
The swan [Em]upon [D]Led[A]a[F#]
Occupier [G]upon [D]ancient land

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][D][A][D][G]
[Bm][Em][D][A][D][G][Bm]
[Em][D][A][F#][G][D]

[Verse 5]
The [Em]gateway [D]to [A]the world
Was still outside the [D]reach of [G]him[Bm]
Would [Em]never [D]be longed
[A]to ang[F#]els
Had [G]never [D]belonged to men
