Hello! I'm looking for piano chords for some of Joanna's songs. The only one that i found is for Inflammatory Writ, so if you can find any more i would greatly appreciate it:)

-Soft As Chalk
-Easy
-Peach,Plumb,Pear
-Flying a Kite
-Good Intentions..

basically all of the songs she has recorded with piano!

[teenagelightning]

someone posted the chords to all of Have One On Me on the old forum, which i luckily saved in my email. i will post them here in a minute!

Credit goes to the person who transcribed the whole thing! Who was it?

[teenagelightning]

HERE IS THE POST FROM THE OLD FORUM:

" I took a couple days to transcribe the songs from the new record, and I have seen a couple of people asking if there were any transcriptions out there, so I thought I'd post them. A couple of these songs have some real brain-twisting progressions. Especially "No Provenance," which, until I started working on it, I thought had the same four or five chords over and over, only to learn that it actually contains around 16 or 17 chords and three or four key changes. I have a new appreciation for that song now. On the other hand, "Baby Birch," which was an early standout, only contains three chords (four if you count the D/C# walkdown as a chord). It was also particularly interesting to me that "Kingfisher," which sounds so otherworldly and beautiful, contains mostly very simple, easy-to-play chords. "Go Long," which is one of my very favorites on the record, is also incredibly simple to play, containing only four chords repeated in the same progression for the entirety of the song.

Please note that I am more of a pianist than guitarist, and these songs are transcribed in the key that Joanna plays them in on the harp or piano. Some of them are not exactly guitar-friendly keys. "Easy," for example, is largely in F-minor, and "No Provenance" is mostly in C-minor, with a carpal-tunnel-inducing B-flat-major-9th in there for good measure. On guitar (or piano for that matter) it may be easier to just take the base chord instead of playing the actual "version" of the chord that Joanna plays. For example, instead of B-flat-major-9th, you could just play a regular old B-flat. It won't sound exactly the same, but the gist will be there. In some cases, if there is interest, I may be able to transpose some songs into a more guitar friendly key, and then you can use a capo if need be to put the song into a key of your liking.

Another caveat is that I'm not sure the very end of Autumn is correct. There's a big swell of orchestration there that sort of drowns out the chords being played on the harp.

Anyways, enjoy, and let me know how they sound!

1. Easy

(C#)Easy
(Gsus4)Ea - (G)sy
(Bb)My man and (F)me
(C#)We could rest and re(Gsus4)main (G)here
(Bbm)Easi(Fm)ly
(C#)We are tested and (Gsus4)pained (G)by
(Bb)What's beyond our (F)bed
(C#)We are blessed and sus(Gsus4)tained (G)by
What (Bbm)is not (Fm)said
(Dm)No one knows what is (Bb7)coming
(Dm)Or who will harvest what we (Bb)have sown
Or (F)how I've been dulling and (G)dulling in the (Bbm)service of the heart a(F)lone

(Dm)And in the river (Bb)made of light
(F)I'm your little life-(G)giver, I will (Bbm)give my (F)life

(C5) (D5) (Eb5)

Ha - (Fm)ven't you seen (Eb)what I've (Bbm)seen?

(Fm)Pluck every (Eb)last daisy (Cm)clean (Bb5)till only (C#)I may (Eb5)love (Fm)you

This is all repeated for the rest of the song. The only other change is towards the end of the song:

(F) Speak my (G)name and (Bb)I ap(G)pear
(C#)Spe - (Gsus4) (G) - ak and (Bbm)I ap(Fm)pear

3. '81

I (Dm)found a little (Bb)plot of land in the (F)garden of (C)Eden
It was (Dm)dirt and dirt is a - (Bb)all the (C)same
I (Dm)tilled it with my (Bb)two hands and I (F)called it my (C)very own
There was (Dm)no one to dispu - (Bb)ute my (Dm)claim (D5)(C5)(Dm)

Well, (F)you'd be shocked at the (C)state of things
The whole (Dm)place had just (Bb)cleared right (C)out
It was (Dm)hotter'n he - (Bb)ell so I (F)lay me (C)by the spring

4. Good Intentions Paving Company

(C)Twenty miles left (F)to the shore
(Am)Hello, my old count(F)ry, hello
(C)Stars are just beginning to (G)appear
And I have never in my (Dm)life before been here
And it's my (C)heart, not me, who (F)cannot drive
At (Am)which conclusion (F)you arrive
(C)Watching me sit here bolt upright and (G)cry for no good reason
At the (Dm)eastering sky

And the tilt of this (C)strange nation
And the will to re(Bb)main for the duration
Waving the (Am)flag, feeling (Bb)it drag
Like a (C)bump on a bump on a log, baby
Like I'm in a fist(Bb)fight with a fog, baby
Step, ball-change and a-piro(Am)uette
And I re(Bb)gret, I regret

How I (G)said to you, "Honey, just open your heart,"
When (F)I've got trouble even opening a honey (C)jar
And that right there is where we (Bb)are

The rest of the first half of the song is the same progression repeated.

Here's the second half:

And (C)no amount of (D)talking is gonna (F)soften the (C)fall
But like (Bb)after the rain, step (F)out of the (G)overhang that's all (Am)
It (C)had a nice (D)ring to it when the ole (F)opry house (C)rang
So with a (Bb)solemn auld lang (F)syne, sealed de(G)livered, I sang (Am)
And (C)there is hesi(D)tation and it (F)always rema - (C)ains
Concerning (Bb)you, me (F), and the (G)rest of the gang (Am)
And (C)in a quiet (D)hour I feel I (F)see every(C)thing
And am in (Bb)love with the ho - (F)ok upon which (G)everyone hangs (Am)
And I (C)know you meant to (D)show the extent to which you (F)gave a god-da - (C)ang
You ranged real (Bb)hot and real cold, but I'm (F)sold, I am at (G)home on that range (Am)
And I do - o - (Bb)o hate to (F)fold right here at the (G)top of my game (Am)
When I've been trying with my (Bb)whole heart and (F)soul to stay right (G)here in the right lane (Am)
But it can make you feel (Bb)over and o -(F)old, lord, you (G)know it's a shame
When I (Am)only want you to pull (Bb)over and hold (F) me till I can't re(G)member my own name (Am)

In (Bb)your (Eb)arms (Eb/D)

(Cm)Not in(G)formed (Bb)of the na - (G#)atural law,
Squatting, lordly, (Cm)on a stool, (G)in a stall,
(Bb) We spun gold (G#) clear out of straw.
And, when our (Cm)bales of bu - (G)ullion were stored,
(Bb) You bu - (G#)urned me like a barn.
I burned (Cm)safe and (Bbmaj9)warm in (G#maj7)your arms
In your (Eb)a - (Eb7)arms, (G#maj7)your arms (G#/G)

(Fm)I'm a(C#)fraid of the (Eb)Big Re(F)turn.
There's a (F/E)certain conver(Dm)sation (Bb)lost, and that (A)loss in(D)curred (D/C)
With (F)nobody remaining to (G)register (Fm)who had (C#)passed this (C)way in the (F)night,
In the (F/E)middle of the (Dm)night ne(Bb)gating their (A)grace and their (D)sight
Till (F)only I remember or (G)mark,

How we (Cm)had our (G)talk
(Bb) We to - (G#)ok our ride,
So that there was (Cm)noone home and the (G)lights of Rome (Bb) flicke - (G#)red and died.
And, what's more I (Cm)believe that you (G)knew it too, (Bb) I thi - (G#)ink you saw their flares,
And kept me (Cm)safely (Bbmaj9)una(G#maj7)wares,
In your (Eb)a - (Eb7)arms, (G#maj7)your (Fm7)arms
In (Bb)your (Eb)arms (Eb/D)

The rest of the song follows the same progression except for the last "in your arms."

Lay me down (Cm)safe and (Bbmaj9)warm in (G#maj7)your arms
In (G#/G)your (Fm)a - (G5) - (G#) - (C)arms



6. Baby Birch

This (D)is the song for (G)Baby Birch, oh, (Bm)I will never (G)know you (D)
And (D)at the back of (G)what we've done there (Bm)is the knowledge (G)of you (D)
I (D)wish we could take (G)every path, could spend a (Bm)hundred years (G)adoring you (D)
Yes, I (D)wish we could take (G)every path cause you know I (Bm)hated to close the (G)door on (D)you

This is repeated until this section

When it (D/C#)was (Bm)dark I called and (D/C#)you (D)came
When it (D/C#)was (Bm)dark, I saw (D/C#) (D)shapes
When I (D/C#)see (Bm)stars, I feel in (D/C#)your (D)hand
And I (D/C#)see (Bm)star, and I reel, a - (D/C#)a - (D)gain (G)

These are the only two progressions in the song.

Calling out, "Who - (G#)o is there? (Fm)Who's there? (Cm)Who is there? (Eb)

(Bb) (F5) (A5) (C5) --> leading into a repeat of this progression.

6. Does Not Suffice

This song has the same chords from the refrain of "In California," and it is almost all the same few chords repeated:

I will pack (D)up my pretty (G)dresses, I will box (Bm)up my high (A)heeled (G)shoes
A sparkling (D)ring for every (G)finger (Gsus4)(G), I'll put a(Bm)way and (G)hide from (D)view (A)

This is repeated over all the lyrics, the instrumental outro goes like this:

La la la la (D)la la la la (D7)la la la la la la (G)la la la (Gm)
La la la la (D)la la la la (D7)la la la la la la (G)la la la (Gm) (A)
(Bm) (A) (G) (A) (Bm) (A) (G) (A) (Bm) (A) (G) (repeat until fadeout)

[ribbonbows]

hey! thanks a lot for reposting this. i play the autoharp and i'm sooo glad that i can actually play a lot of the songs on the new album. but since the old forum is no longer around, it's been a pain to try to find these. you're a saint!

[doublewuzzy]

The chords are a bit different for You and Me Bess, though what's posted here is mostly correct - the outro with all the "la la"-ing is: a, EbM7, d7, C

[queenofnerds]

These are really handy! Thank you, really want to learn jackrabbits. I have ambitions of learning Kingfisher but it is so complex and long.

[Andrew]

Yay I can play Have One On Me! such a fun song
