En Gallop - Joanna Newsom - Chords
This is a beautiful and poetic song. It is easy to play.
Bb refers to B flat (A sharp)
Advice for using a capo:
You could play this song with a capo at the 1st fret if you find barring difficult. If
you do this you should play all the Fs how you would play an E and all the Bbs how you
would play an A. You should play the C how you would play a B7 or normal B.
Intro consists of Bbs and Fs
Bb F
This place is damp and ghostly, I am already gone,
Bb F Bb
And the halls were lined with the disembodied and dustly wings,
F
Which fall from flesh gasplessy,

Bb F Bb
And I go where the trees go, and I walk from an higher education,
F
For now and for hire,
Bb
And it beats me but I do not know,
And it beats me but I do not know,
C
And it beats me but I do not know, I do not know,
F Bb F
Palaces and storm clouds the rough, straggly sage, and the smoke,
Bb F
And the way it will all come together (in quietness, in time),
Bb
And you laws of property you free economy
F C
You unending afterthoughts, you could've told me before,
Bb
Never get so attached to a poem you forget truth it lacks lyricism,
F
Never draw so close to the heat that you forget that you must eat
Outro consists of Bbs and Fs
