Joanna Newsom Cassiopeia Lyrics

Tab by Devin Miller
INTRO:
I will tab these harmonics as if there was no capo...because they are
high up on the fret board (so play these on the indicated fret with a
Feel the matress tense beneath me
like the muscle of nonsleepy;
Feathers flexing will defeat me,
and it vexes me completely.
CHORD REFERENCE (use these, not the ones UG puts as links
above the lyrics):
VERSES:
And the hexes heat covertly
like a slow low-flying turkey
like a Texan drying jerky
but his meaty mitts can't hurt me
With my steely will compounded
in a mighty mound that's hounded
by the snap your steel string sounded,
just before your snores unwound it.

And in store are dreams so daring
M
that the night can't stop from staring.
I'll swim sweetly as a herring
through the ether, not despairing.
Go to sleep, you stunning sky;
gently creep cunning by:
A quiet hum is amplified
by your thumb, that you suck dry.
Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh.
Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea.
Hundred raging waters snare the lonely sigh.
Hold your breath and clasp at Cassiopiea.

Cassiopeia.
Cassiopeia!
Ohhhh....Cassiopeia!
