This is a much simplified version of Hozier's Cherry Wine for those of us who aren't so skilled
as to play the original tab...!
Verse
[C] [Am]
Her eyes and words are so icy, oh, but she burns
[F] [C]
Like rum on a fire
[C]
Hot and fast and angry as she can be
[Am] [F] [C]
I walk my days on a wire
Chorus
[Dm] [Em]
It looks ugly, but it's clean
[Dm] [Em] [G]
Oh mamma, don't fuss over me
[C] [Am7] [C]
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
[C] [Am7] [C]
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
[F] [Am] [Em] [Am] [C]
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
Verse
[C] [Am]
Calls of guilty thrown at me all while she stains
[F] [C]
The sheets of some other
[C] [Am]
Thrown at me so powerfully just like she throws
[F] [C]
With the arm of her brother
Chorus
[Dm] [Em]
But I want it, it's a crime
[Dm] [Em] [G]
That she's not around most of the time
[C] [Am7] [C]
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
[C] [Am7] [C]
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
[F] [Am] [Em] [Am] [C]
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
Verse
[C] [Am]
Her fight and fury's fiery, oh, but she loves
[F] [C]
Like sleep to the freezing
[C] [Am]
Sweet and right and merciful, I'm all but washed
[F] [C]
In the tide of her breathing
Chorus
[Dm] [Em]
And it's worth it, it's divine
[Dm] [Em] [G]
I have this some of the time
[C] [Am7] [C]
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
[C] [Am7] [C]
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
[F] [Am] [Em] [Am]
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
[C]
