Song: Cassiopeia
Artist: Joanna Newsom
Album: "The Milk-Eyed Mender"
Tab by Devin Miller
Tuning: Standard EADGBe CAPO 2nd Fret
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
capo on 2).

Feel the matress tense beneath me
like the muscle of nonsleepy;
Feathers flexing will defeat me,
and it vexes me completely.

VERSES:
And the [Esus4]hexes heat cov[E]ertly
like a [Bm]slow low-flying turkey[E]
like a [Esus4]Texan drying [E]jerky
but his [Bm]meaty mitts can't hurt [E]me
With my [Esus4]steely will comp[E]ounded
in a [Bm]mighty mound that's hound[E]ed
by the [Esus4]snap your steel string [E]sounded,
just bef[Bm]ore your snores unwound [E]it.
[-----]
And in [D7M]store are dreams so [A7M]daring
that the [Bm]night can't stop from st[A7M]aring.
[-----]
I'll swim [Esus4]sweetly as a [E]herring
through the [Bm]ether, not despairing.[E]
[-----]
Go to [A]sleep, you stunning [E]sky;
gent[D]ly creep cunning [E]by:
A qui[F#m]et hum is amplif[E]ied
by your [D]thumb, that you suck[E] dry.
Hundred [A]raging waters [E]snare the lonel[D]y sigh.[E]
Hold your [F#m]breath and clasp at [E]Cassio[D]piea.[E]
Hundred [A]raging waters [E]snare the lonel[D]y sigh.[E]
Hold your [F#m]breath and clasp at [E]Cassio[D]piea.[E]
