Such Sweet Alarms by Joy Kills Sorrow
Such Sweet Alarms
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:B
Capo:no capo
This tune is almost entirely in 6/8,
but watch for the bar of
four/four in the verses! (e.g. at “her such loving words” in verse one). In the
outro, each notated chord
is one four bar phrase.
[Verse 1]
B9
How does a bride's maid lead her groom?
B
How can she tell when it's too soon?
F# E
He tells her such loving words
F# E
They're just like those bees and birds
[Chorus]
E
Making love so high
G#m
They may forget to fly
E E6
And fall down in each other's arms
E6
What a handsome sight
G#m
Of love that falls from flight
E E6
And birds that sing such sweet alarms
B9
[Verse 2]
B9
Out of the darkened winter's gloom
B
How does a rosebud come to bloom?
F# E
Tucked down in their forest beds
F# E
Too young rosebuds lose their heads
[Chorus]
E
Making love so soon
G#m
They may too early bloom
E E6
And freeze before they know the cost
E
What a handsome scene
G#m
When love won't wait for spring
E E6
And rosebuds frozen in the frost
[Solos]

[Verse 3]
B9
How does a bride's maid lead her groom?
B
God can you send me some one soon?
F# E
Roses bound up in a vase
F# E
Rooms decked out in silk and lace
E
Handsome children and
G#m
The food to fill them and
E E6
The love to freeze up all my fears
E
Fancy golden ring
G#m
And birds that love to sing
E E6
To fill this silence in my ears
