On Love by Lisa Hannigan, Glen Hansard
On Love
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
Am C Am
When love beckons to you, Follow him
Am F C
Though his ways are hard and steep
Dm F C
And when his wings enfold you, yield to him
Dm F C
Though he hides a sword among them
Am C Am
And when he speaks to you, believe in him
Dm F C
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
[Chorus]
F C
Love will crown and crucify you
F C
So for your growth so he is for your pruning
F C
Love will caress your tenderest branches
Dm F
And shake every clinging root
[Verse 2]
Am F C
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself
Am F C Am
He threshes and sifts you, he grinds and he kneads you
Dm F C
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire
Dm F C
That you may become sacred bread for god’s sacred feast
[Chorus]
F C
All these things shall love do unto you
F C
That you may know the secrets of your heart
F C
And in that knowledge become a fragment
Dm F
A fragment of love’s heart
[Verse 3]
Am F C
Now if in your fear you seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure
Am F C
Better cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor
Dm F C
Into seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all your laughter
Dm F C
and weep, and weep, but not all of your tears
[Chorus]
F C
Love gives naught but itself
F C
and takes naught but from itself
F C
Love possesses not nor would be possessed
Dm F
For love is enough
[Bridge]
Am F
You should say I am in the heart of God
Am C
You cannot direct the course of love
Am F C
Love it finds you worthy, it directs your course
[Chorus]
F C
To wake at dawn with a winged heart
F C
To come home in the evening with gratitude
F C
And to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
Dm F
And a song of praise on your lips
