Would That I Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[F][F][F][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]True that I saw her hair
like the branch of a tree
Willow dancing on air before covering [F]me
Under cotton and calicoes
Over canopy dapple long ago
[C][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]True that love in withdrawal
was the weepin' of me
That the sound of the saw
must be known by the [F]tree
Must be felled for to fight the cold
I fretted fire, but that was long ago
[C][C][C][C]

[Chorus 1]
[C]And it's not tonig[Am]ht[F]
[C]Where I'm set ali[Am]ght[F]
[C]And I blink in sig[Am]ht[G]
[F]Of your blinding light
[C]Oh, it's not to[Am]night[F]
[C]Where you hold me tig[Am]ht[F]
[C]Light a fire bri[Am]ght[G]
[F]Oh, let it blaze alright
[C]Oh, but you're [F]good to me,
[C]oh, you're goo[F]d to me
[C]Oh, but you're [F]good to me,

[Interlude 1]
[C](baby)[C][C][C]
[F][F][F][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]With the roar of the fire,
my heart rose to its feet
Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the [F]heat
Settle soft and as pure as snow
I fell in love with the fire long ago
[C][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]With each love I cut loose,
I was never the same
Watching still-living roots
be consumed by the [F]flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Layin' waste to my lovin' long ago
[C][C][C][C]

[Chorus 2]
[C]That's not tonig[Am]ht[F]
[C]Where I'm set alig[Am]ht[F]
[C]And I blink in sig[Am]ht[G]
[F]Of your blinding light
[C]Oh, and it's not to[Am]night[F]
[C]Where you hold me tig[Am]ht[F]
[C]Light the fire bri[Am]ght[G]
[F]Oh, let it blaze alright, honey
[C]Oh, you're [F]good to me,
[C]oh, you're goo[F]d to me
[C]Oh, but you're [F]good to me,

[Interlude 2]
[Am](baby)[F][Am][Dm][F]

[Verse 5]
[C]So in awe, there I stood
as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood,
I still worship the [F]flame
Long as amber of ember glows
All the "would that I'd loved" is long ago
[C][C]

[Chorus 3]
[C]And it's not tonig[Am]ht[F]
[C]Where I'm set alig[Am]ht[F]
[C]And I blink in sig[Am]ht[G]
[F]Of your blinding light
[C]Oh, and it's not to[Am]night[F]
[C]When you hold me tig[Am]ht[F]
[C]Light the fire bri[Am]ght[G]
[F]Oh, it blaze alright
[C]Oh, you're [F]good to me,
[C]oh, you're goo[F]d to me
[C]Oh, but you're [F]good to me
[C]Oh, oh,[F] you[C]'re good t[F]o me,
[C]you're goo[F]d to me
[C]Oh, but you're [F]good to me, [C]baby
