Work Song - Hozier Guitar Chords

Intro: A#   Cm (x8)

A#                        Cm
Boys workin on empty
A#                                                Cm
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
A#                           Cm
I just think about my baby
A#                      
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
A#                                    Cm
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
A#                                      Cm
I never want once from the cherry tree
A#                               Cm
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
A#                      
She give me toothaches just from kissin me

Gm           F
    When, my, time comes around
A#                                 Cm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm               F
    No grave can hold my body down
A#
    I'll crawl home to her

A#                           Cm
That's when my baby found me
A#                                 Cm
I was three days on a drunken sin
A#                               Cm
I woke with her walls around me
A#                                    Cm
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
A#                            Cm
And I was burnin up a fever
A#                                   Cm
I didn't care much how long I lived
A#                                    Cm
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
A#                      
She never asked me once about the wrong I did

Gm            F
    When, my, time comes around
A#                                 Cm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm               F
    No grave can hold my body down
A#
    I'll crawl home to her                (Repeat chorus)


A#                        Cm
My baby never fret none
A#                                    Cm
About what my hands and my body done
A#                            Cm
If the Lord don't forgive me
A#                      
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
A#                             Cm
When I was kissing on my baby
A#                                        Cm
And she put her love down soft and sweet
A#                              Cm
In the lowland plot I was free
A#                      
Heaven and hell were words to me


Gm            F
    When, my, time comes around
A#                                 Cm
    Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
Gm               F
    No grave can hold my body down
A#
    I'll crawl home to her             (Repeat chorus)


A#  Cm (x4)

[Verse 1]
Em             Am    Em
My lover's got humour
                       Am     G
She's the giggle at a funeral
                       Am     Em
Knows everybody's disapproval
                            Am    Em
I should've worshipped her sooner
                     Am     Em
If the Heavens ever did speak
                     Am      G
She is the last room of peace
                        Am      Em
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
                Am    D
A fresh poison each week
                   C                     Em 
'We were born sick, you heard them say it
                      Am    Em
My church offers no absolutes
                             Am    G
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
                         Am   Em
The only heaven I'll be sent to
                   Am   D
Is when I'm alone with you
               C
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
G      C     G       Cm       G      Cm G  Cm G-F#/F#-F Em
Aaaaaaaaa    aaaaaaaaamen. Aaaaaaaamen. Amen

[Chorus](2x)
              Em
Take me to church                 
                                               B
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
                                                G
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
                 Am
Offer me that deathless death
     Em                       Am-G-F#-Em
Good God, let me give you my life

[Verse 2](2x)
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen. Amen. Amen

[Chorus]
