Shrike Chords

(ver. 3)
Hozier
[Intro]
Csus2   Am/E    Gsus4/D
Gsus4/D Am/E    Csus2
Csus2   Am/E    Gsus4/D
Am/E    Gsus4/D Am/E Csus2

[Verse 1]
Csus2                           Am/E          Gsus4/D
I   couldn't     utter     my   love  when it counted
Gsus4/D                         Am/E          Csus2
Ah, but  I'm   singing  like a  bird 'bout it now
Csus2                           Am/E          Gsus4/D
And I couldn't whisper when you needed   it   shouted
Gsus4/D                         Am/E          Csus2
Ah, but I'm   singing  like  a  bird 'bout it now

[Chorus]
       Am/E           Gsus4/D    Am/E            F6sus2      
       Words   hung a-bove,  but never  would    form, 
       Am/E           Gsus4/D    Am/E            Dm7/A
Like a cry   at  the  final      breath that  is drawn.
       Am/E           Gsus4/D    Am/E            F6sus2
Re-    member   me,   love, when I'm    re-      born, 
       Am/E           Gsus4/D    Am/E            Csus2
As  a  shrike to your sharp and  glo-   ri-  ous thorn

[Instrumental]
Csus2 Am/E    Gsus4/D
Am/E  Gsus4/D Am/E Csus2

[Verse 2] 
Csus2                   Am/E          Gsus4/D
Had no  idea  on  what  ground I was  founded
Gsus4/D                 Am/E          Csus2
All of that goodness is gone with you now
Csus2                   Am/E          Gsus4/D
Then when I met you  my virtues  un-  counted
Gsus4/D                 Am/E          Csus2
All of my  goodness  is gone with you now

[Chorus 2]
     Am/E           Gsus4/D      Am/E            F6sus2
     Dragging       along,       following  your form
     Am/E           Gsus4/D      Am/E            Dm7/A
     Hung  like the pelt of some prey   you  had worn.
     Am/E           Gsus4/D      Am/E            F6sus2
Re - member   me    love,   when I'm    re-      born, 
     Am/E           Gsus4/D      Am/E            Csus2
As a shrike to your sharp    and glo-   ri  -ous thorn

[Instrumental]
Csus2 Am/E    Gsus4/D
Am/E  Gsus4/D Am/E Csus2

[Verse 3]
  Csus2                       Am/E        Gsus4/D
I fled  to  the  city  with   so much dis-counted
  Gsus4/D                     Am/E        Csus2
  Ah, but I'm  flying  like a bird to you now
  Csus2                       Am/E        Gsus4/D
  Back to the hedgerows where bodies  are mounted
  Gsus4/D                     Am/E        Csus2
  Ah, but I'm  flying  like a bird to you now

[Chorus 3]
        Am/E           Gsus4/D    Am/E         F6sus2
I  was  housed by your warmth,    thus  trans- formed
        Am/E           Gsus4/D    Am/E         Dm7/A
By your grounded  and  giving and darkening    scorn
        Am/E           Gsus4/D    Am/E         F6sus2
Re  -   member   me,   love, when I'm   re-    born,
        Am/E           Gsus4/D    Am/E         Csus2
As  a   shrike to your sharp and  glo   ri-ous thorn

[Instrumental]
Csus2   Am/E    Gsus4/D
Gsus4/D Am/E    Csus2
Csus2   Am/E    Gsus4/D
Am/E    Gsus4/D Am/E Csus2
