Tuning: EADGBe

So, this is my version- I don't know
 if it is exactly how she plays it, 
but it
sounds close enough for me. All 
picking, don't strum. Picking 
pattern below. Enjoy!

Notes:
- Some (or even all) of the A minor 
chords can be replaced with normal 
Am
fingering (x02210) - up to you.
- The G in brackets (G) is a very 
quick passing note.
- For the Am, G and maybe F chords, 
it may be easier to use your thumb 
on the bottom string.
- She plays various fills involving 
the top two open strings, and 
occasionally the
open G string as well. Listen and 
improvise.
- (Repeat) means just repeat the 
chords from the verse above :P

Intro:
Am G C Dm C G/B Am

Am      (G) C
forgive me Hera,
Dm        C
I cannot stay
    Dm        C
he cut out my tongue
         G/B        Am
there is nothing to save


Am      (G) C
love me, oh lord
    Dm        C
he threw me away
    Dm            C
he laughed at my sins
        G/B        Am
in his arms I must stay

   Am     G
he wrote
     F
I'm broke
Am      G       Am

Am      G
but I'm broken too

F
and spoken for
Am G          Am
 do not tempt me

Am      (G)  C
her skin is white
         Dm          C
and I'm light as the sun
    Dm         C            G/B  
so holy light shines on the 
           Am
things you have done

F          G           E/G#      
so I asked him how he became this 
 Am
man
F          G             E/G#   
how did he learn to hold fruit 
      Am
in his hands?
     C                      Dm
and where is the lamb that gave you 
your name?
C                         G/B    
he had to leave, though I begged 
       Am
him to stay

F          G          E/G#  
left me alone when I needed the 
     Am
light
F          G             E/G#   
fell to my knees, and I wept for
     Am
 my life
   C                        Dm
if he had have stayed, you might 
understand
C                              
if he had have stayed, you never 
             G/B      Am
would have taken my hand

Am        G
he wrote
F
I'm low
Am     G        Am
please send for me

Am      G
but I'm broken too
F
and spoken for
Am G          Am
 do not tempt me

     C                      Dm
and where is the lamb that gave your
 name?
C                         G/B    
he had to leave, though I begged 
       Am
him to stay

F              G          E/G#  
begged him to stay in my cold 
      Am
wooden grip
F              G           E/G# 
begged him to stay by the light 
        Am
of this ship
C                          Dm
me fighting him, fighting light, 
fighting dawn
         C                         
and the waves came and stole him 
  G/B         Am
and took him to war

Am        G
he wrote
F
I'm low
Am     G        Am
please send for me

Am      G
but I'm broken too
F
and spoken for
Am G          Am
 do not tempt me

Am      (G) C
forgive me Hera,
Dm        C
I cannot stay
    Dm        C
he cut out my tongue
         G/B        Am
there is nothing to save

Am      (G) C
love me, oh lord
    Dm        C
he threw me away
    Dm            C
he laughed at my sins
        G/B        Am
in his arms I must stay

Am       G
we write
F
that's all right
Am  G      Am
I miss his smell

Am       G
we speak
F
when spoken to
Am  G             Am
and that suits us well

Am    G       Am
that suits us well
Am    G       Am
that suits me well
