Neko Case – Hell-On chords

[INTRO]
Dm


[VERSE 1]
DmGod is not a contract or a guy
DmGod is an unspecified tide
Dm                  A7You cannot time its tables
   F                A7It sets no glass or gables
Dm       A7         DmGod is a lusty tire fire
    Dm                  A7Its bristles scrape and strike the stage
  F          A7A rock paper scissors rage
     Dm           A7      DmHave mercy on the natural world


[VERSE 2]
   Dm           A7     F            A7My voice is not    the liquid waves
    Dm            A7         F            A7The perfect ring    'round a heron's legs
   Dm                  A7My voice is straight garotting wire
  F              A7A stolen mile of fingerprints
Dm             A7Hear the quiet from the dunes
F               A7Captured and respooled as ruin
      Dm        A7        DmTo be used at a different time
   DmMy voice is a frature for shinbone's lust
                  A7                  F               A7Pounding barefoot ground it lifts you up and sits you just
Dm              A7Just at sorrows waterline
  F              A7I drape you on tomorrow's plate
Dm                   A7       F             A7Ferrous metal marrow spilling not yours but mine

Dm                  A7      Dm    Bb7I'm an agent of the natural world


[CHORUS]
A7Don't you tell me I didn't want you
                         FThat that's some gravity ought not to play with
A7Don't you tell me I didn't want you
                         FThat that's some gravity ought not to play with


[BRIDGE]
C               FNothin quite so poison as a promise
C               FNothin quite so poison as a promise
C               FNothin quite so poison as a promise
C               FNothin quite so poison as a promise

[VERSE 3]
              FAnd me, I am not a myth
A7     Dm          A7I am a wilderness, yes
    F            A7The undiscovered continent
Dm                A7For you to undress
           Dm        A7But you'll not be my master
       F         A7You're barely my guest
Dm                A7         F        A7You don't have permission to take any pictures
   Dm             A7      DmBe careful of the natural world
Dm             A7Nature can't ammend its ways
F               A7           A7/C# A7Boils along and then we play
        Dm                    A7Despite heartfelt springtimes of regret
    F                A7The storm, she still cries for days
     Dm           A7      Bb7Have mercy on the natural world
