Hozier - Cherry Wine Chords

Chord reference C, F, Am, Dm

Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

[C] [F] [C] Her [C]eyes and words are [C]so icy, oh, but she [Am]burns. Like [F]rum on a [C]fire, [C]hot and fast and [C]angry. As [C]she can be, [Am]I walk my [F]days on a [C]wire.

[F]It looks [Am]ugly, [F]but it’s [Am]clean, [F]Oh [Am]momma, don’t [Dm]fuss over [C]me.

The way she [C]tells me I’m [Am]hers and she is [C]mine. Open [C]hand or closed [Am]fist would be [F]fine. The [F]blood is rare and [Dm]sweet as cherry wine. [C]

[C]Calls of guilty [C]thrown at me, [C]all while she [Am]stains. The [F]sheets of some [C]other, [C]thrown at me so [C]powerfully. [C]Just like she [Am]throws with the [F]arm of her [C]brother.

[F]But I [Am]want it, [F]it’s a [Am]crime. [F]That she’s [Am]not around [Dm]most of the [C]time.

The way she [C]shows me I’m [Am]hers and she is [C]mine. Open [C]hand or closed [Am]fist would be [F]fine. [F]Blood is rare and [Dm]sweet as cherry wine. [C]

Her [C]fight and fury [C]is fiery, [C]oh, but she [Am]loves. Like [F]sleep to the [C]freezing, [C]sweet and right and [C]merciful. [C]I’m all but [Am]washed, in the [F]tide of her [C]breathing.

[F]And it’s [Am]worth it, [F]it’s di[Am]vine. [F]And [Am]I have this [Dm]some of the [C]time.

The way she [C]shows me I’m [Am]hers and she is [C]mine. Open [C]hand or closed [Am]fist would be [F]fine. The [F]blood is rare and [Dm]sweet as cherry wine. [C]
