It Was Love That Laid Us Low chords

Tuning half step down

[INTRO]

[G]
[Bm] [G] [A] [G]

[VERSE 1]

[Bm]I dreamt of a [G]Russian doll bride
Who [A]spun on the points of her [G]feet like a child
[Bm]But I had the [G]terminal pride of an [D]older man
[Bm]There’s a Passove[G]r cross on the post
But the [A]angel descends in the [G]shape of a crow
And [Em]buries its [C]beak in our unfused [D]bones, like it’[G]s ok

[CHORUS]

[Em]Like a moth goes s[C]ad and [D]soft in the [C]streetlights’ [Bm]umbilica[Am]l glow:
It was love that laid [G]us low

[Bm] [G] [A] [G]

[VERSE 2]

[Bm]I worked out of [G]town after dark
With a[A]pocryphal men in a [G]cold weather mask
[Bm]I guess she did [G]best to depart in the [D]Dark Night of the Soul
[Bm]By nature you’r[G]e mild and you’re meek
But they [A]say that you’re judged by th[G]e company you keep
[Em]Merrily [C]spitting up salt when you [D]speak, like it’[G]s ok

[Bm] [C] [D] [Em]

[CHORUS]

[Em]Like a [C]moth goes sad and [D]soft in the [C]streetlight’s [Bm]umbilica[Am]l glow
[Em]Like a [C]pilgrim father [D]kneels in a [C]land where his [Bm]god doesn’[Am]t go
Like [Em]every [C]seed in the sycamore [D]tree will [C]turn its [Bm]back on its [Am]home:
It was love that laid us [Bm]low [C]
It was love that laid [G]us low
