A Pin Light Bent by Joanna Newsom


   A Pin Light Bent


Capo:no capo

[Intro] (x2)
Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
 
[Verse 1]
Am            Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life comes and goes
Am            Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life comes and goes
      D            Fmaj7
Short flight, free rows: 
  D            Fmaj7
I lie down and doze
 
[Verse 2]
   Am        Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life came and went
   Am        Am/G Fmaj7/F
My life came and went
      D             Fmaj7
Short flight; free descent
     D       Fmaj7
Poor flight attendant
 
[Verse 3]
        Am   Am/G Fmaj7/F
But the sky, over the ocean!
        Am    Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the ocean, skirting the city!
        Am      Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the city, bright as a garden
          Am         Am/G Fmaj7/F  Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
(when the garden woke to meet me)
 
[Verse 4]
          Am           Am/G Fmaj7/F
From that height was a honeycomb
        Am               Am/G Fmaj7/F
Made of light from those funny homes, 
D                Fmaj7     D              Fmaj7
Intersected each enclosed, anelectric and alone
 
[Verse 5]
       C                 Fmaj7
In our lives is a common sense
     C                     Fmaj7
That relies on the common fence
     D            Fmaj7
That divides, and attends
    D              Fmaj7
But provides scant defense
 
[Verse 6]
         Am                    Am/G Fmaj7/F
From the Great Light that shine through a pin-hole
         Am               Am/G Fmaj7/F
When the pin-light calls itself Selfhood
        Am               Am/G Fmaj7/F
And the Selfhood inverts on a mirror
      Am Am/G Fmaj7/F
In an Amora Obscura     Am Am/G Fmaj7/F 
 
[Verse 7]
         Am                  Am/G Fmaj7/F
But it's mine. Or, at least, it's lent
       Am                   Am/G Fmaj7/F
And my life, until the time is spent
     D          Fmaj7
Is a pin-light, bent
       D          Fmaj7
It's a pin-light, bent
 
(On the last note of the song, I like to let the f note on the first fret of the 
e string ring out.)
