 True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
 Willow dancin' on air before covering me
 Under cotton and calicos
 Over canopy dapple long ago
 
 True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
 That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
 Must be felled for to fight the cold
 I fretted fire, but that was long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                       Dm  Bb
 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
 Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
F                    Dm   C
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
Bb*
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
F                     Dm  Bb
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
F                    Dm   C
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Bb*
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
F                    Bb*         F           Bb*
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
F                Bb*              F*
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

 With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
 Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
 Settle soft and as pure as snow
 I Fell in love with the fire long ago
 
 With each love I cut lose, I was never the same
 Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame
 I was fixed on your hand of gold
 Laying waste to my lovin' long ago
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                       Dm  Bb
 But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)

 So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
 Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
 Long as amber of ember glows
 All the "would that I loved" is long ago

This is very accurate but a little confusing at first. In my mind tuning a step down is like a reverse capo so the chords for capo'd songs are usually written with respect to the capo. So I know an F chord is technically barred on the third fret in this tuning but I rewrote it for myself as G (since it's on the third fret). Same to the other barre chords. Might be worth adding those somewhere.

hey man really nice. this seems more on point to me than others in here. but i think in your tab, your'e missing the little bit that he plays before going to the chorus after the first verse? its almost the same as the intro but a bit different at the end of that riff? maybe i was trying to figure that out too. :) peace!

Hi I love this tab so much thank you! Just one thing I noticed was the lyrics in the chorus say “hope that you’re good to me” but Hozier says “oh, but you’re good to me” :)
