Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The other tab on here is wonderful; the only problem I had with it is that the chords
stop once the progression repeats. So I posted pretty much the same one but de-lazified.
So please enjoy The Diver's Wife, my favorite of Joanna Newsom's new unreleased songs
Am
The diver is my love
G Am G
and I am his, if I to be deceived
Fmaj7
who takes one breath above for eve-ry
Am
hour below the sea
Am
Who gave to me a jewel
G Am G
worth twice this woman's life, though it cost her less
Fmaj7
than laying at low tide to see
Am
her true love phosphoresce.
C
And in an infinite regress,
Gm Dm
tell me why is the pain of birth
F C
lighter borne than the pain of death?
G F
I ain't saying I loved you first,
C Bb
but I loved you best.
Am
I know we must abide
G Am G
each by the rules that bind us here:
Fmaj7
the divers and the sailors and
Am
the women on the pier.
Am
How do you choose your voice?
G Am G
How do you choose your name? How do you choose your life?
Fmaj7
How do you choose the time you must
Am
exhale and kick and rise?
C
And in an infinite capsize,
Gm Dm
like a boat tearing down the coast,
F C
double hulls bearing double masts.
G F
I don't know if you loved me most,
C Bb
but you loved me last.
Am
Recall the word you gave
G Am G
to count your way across the depths of this arid world,
Fmaj7
where you will yoke the waves that lay
Am
a bed of shining pearls.
Am
I dream it every night:
G Am G
the ringing of the pail, the motes of sand dislodged, the shucking, quick and bright
Fmaj
the twinned and cast off shells reveal
Am
a single heart of white.
C
And in an infinite backslide,
Gm Dm
ancient boulders sink past the west,
F C
like a sword at the bearer's fall.
G F
I don't say that I knew you best,
C Bb
but did you know me at all?
Am
A woman is alive, a woman is
G Am G
alive. You do not take her from your side
Fmaj
An anchor on a stone, alone,
Am
unfaceted and fine.
Am
And never will I wed.
G Am G
I'll hunt the pearl of death to the bottom of my life,
Fmaj
and ever hold my breath 'til I may
Am
be the diver's wife.
C
See how the infinite divides,
Gm Dm
and the divers are not to blame
F C
for the rift spanning distant shores.
G F
You don't know my name,
C Bb
but I know yours.
