I Carrion Icarian chords by Hozier

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: C

🎸 Intro:

N.C.
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
N.C.
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
C

🎸 Verse 1:
C    G       F        C
 I feel lighter than I have in so much time
         G
I've crossed the borderline of weightless
     F          C
One deep breath out from the sky
        G        F       C
I've reached a rarer height now that I can confirm
    G                F      C
All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world

🎸 Chorus:
       Em       E7
And though I burn, how could I fall?
     Am    G       F
When I am lifted by every word you say to me
   Dm         C       G
If anything could fall at all, it's the world
N.C.    C
That falls away from me


🎸 Verse 2:
C      G        F       C
 You have me floatin' like a feather on the sea
        G
While you're as heavy as the world
     F         C
That you hold your hands beneath
      G         F       C
Once I had wondered what was holdin' up the ground
   G                F        C
I can see that all along, love, it was you all the way down


🎸 Chorus:
     Em      E7
Leave it now, I am sky-bound
    Am    G         F
If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me
       Dm       G
We'll float away, but if we fall
             C
I only pray, don't fall away from me


🎸 Bridge:
   Dm           G
I do not have wings, love, I never will
    Am   C     F
Soarin' over a world you are carryin'
     Dm           G
If these heights should bring my fall
        Am
Let me be your own
 C   F
Icarian carrion


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    Em        E7
If the wind turns, if I hit a squall
     Am    G        F
Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me
      Dm      G
If I should fall, on that day
    N.C.       C
I only pray, don't fall away from me
