Cherry Wine Ukulele chords by Hozier

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

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
