How to import Yoroi seed phrase to computer using cardano-address?

I'm trying to use cardano-cli to control the addresses controlled by my Yoroi wallet, so I thought the first thing to do is to import the keys and addresses. I did this:

$ # Type the seed phrase for the Yoroi wallet into a file phrase.txt.
$ cat phrase.txt | cardano-address key from-recovery-phrase Shelley > root.prv
$ cat root.prv | cardano-address key child 1852H/1815H/0H/0/0 | cardano-address key public --with-chain-code  | cardano-address address payment --network-tag mainnet

The output is "addr1v..." but in the Yoroi the 0th address is "addr1q...", so they are very different. What am I missing? My ultimate goal is to get the addresses and keys I need to build and sign transactions using cardano-cli, and I'm stuck at even getting the right addresses using cardano-address.
