Were the World Mine
Tanner Cohen
From the movie Were the World Mine
Play it Capo 2 to play with the soundtrack, but I prefer it open.
E A
I see their knavery, This is to make an ass of me,
F#m E
To fright me...if they could
E A
But I will not stir from this place do what they can,
F#m E
I will work...up and down here
A E
And I will sing that they shall hear,
A E
That I am not, I am not afraid,
A E
I am not...afraid
E A
I know not by what power I'm made bold, But still you flout my insufficiencies,
F#m E
The more my prayer, the lesser is my grace
E A
My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye, My tongue should catch your tongue, sweet melody,
F#m E
My tongue your tongue, were the world mine,
A E
And I will sing that they shall hear
A E
That I am not, I am not afraid
A E
I am not...afraid
E
Fairies away, Fetch me that flower,
A E
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
E
Fairies away, Swift as a shadow,
A E
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down

O, why rebuke you him that loves you so?
C D E
Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe,
C D E
On your bitter foe
E G F#m E
What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
E G F#m E
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
B A E
I pray thee, gentle mortal, sing again
E G F#m E
Mine ear is much enamored of thy note,
E G F#m E
So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape,

I'll follow thee,
B A
I'll follow thee,
E B A
And make a heaven of hell
B A
I'll follow thee
B A
I'll follow thee
E B A
And make a heaven of hell
E B A
And make a heaven of hell

Fairies away, Fetch me that flower,
A E
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
E
Fairies away, Swift as a shadow,
A E
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
E
Fairies away, Fetch me that flower,
A E
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and...
E
Fairies away, Swift as a shadow,
A E
Up and down and up and down, I will lead them up and down
E A
My ear should catch your voice, My eye should catch your eye,
G E
My tongue your tongue, Were the world mine
