Swan Upon Leda Chords by Hozier

[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C         Dm       Am
A husband waits outside
         G                C  
A crying child pushes a child 
         F     Am
into the night
        C             Dm        Am
She was told he would come this time
        G                 
Without leaving so much as a 
C         F     Am
feather behind
              G        C      E
To enact, at last, the perfect plan
    E7        Am     G      F
One more sweet boy to be butchered by man
 
 
[Chorus]
        Dm      C      G
But the gateway to the world
                      C        F    Am
Was still outside the reach of him
      Dm    C         G
Would never belong to angels
            C        F     Am
Had never belonged to man
    Dm    C   G     E7
The swan upon Leda
  F           C
Empire upon Jerusalem
 
 
[Verse 2]
                Dm      Am
A grandmother smuggling meds
               G                 
Past where the god child-soldier,
  C       F         Am
Setanta, stood dead
    C            Dm    Am
Our graceful turner of heads
                   G          
Weaves through the checkpoints
       C          F       Am
like a needle and thread
                     G   C         E
Someone's frightened boy waves her on
E7          Am         G       F
She offers a mother's smile and soon, 

she's gone
 
 
[Chorus]
    Dm      C      G
The gateway to the world
             C         G    Am
The gun in a trembling hand
      Dm     C           G
Where nature unmakes the boundary
              C          F       Am
The pillar of myth still stands
    Dm    C   G     E7
The swan upon Leda
    F         C
Occupier upon ancient land
 
 
[Instrumental]
Dm C G  C F Am
Dm C G  C F Am
Dm C G  E F C
 
 
[Outro]
    Dm      C      G
The gateway to the world
                      C        F    Am
Was still outside the reach of him
      Dm    C         G       E
Would never belong to angels
    F                 C
Had never belonged to men
