Leonard Cohen - Bird on the Wire
A E
Like a bird on the wire
A D
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
A E A Asus4 A
I have tried in my way to be free
A E
Like a worm on a hook
A D
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
A E A Asus4 A
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
D A
If I, if I have been unkind
Bm A
I hope that you can just let it go by
D A
If I, if I have been untrue
Bm E Esus4 E
I hope you know it was never to you
A E
Like a baby, stillborn
A D
Like a beast with his horn
A E A Asus4 A
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
A E
But I swear by this song
A D
And by all that I have done wrong
A E A Asus4 A
I will make it all up to thee
D A
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
Bm A
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
D A
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
Bm E Esus4 E
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
A E
Oh like a bird on the wire
A D
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
A E D A
I have tried in my way to be free

Leonard Cohen - Story of Isaac
Intro:
Am
Am F
The door it opened slowly
Am F
My father he came in
G F E
I was nine years old
Am F
And he stood so tall above me
Am F
His blue eyes they were shining
G F E
And his voice was very cold
C
He said, "I've had a vision
C
And you know I'm strong and holy
D C B
I must do what I've been told."
F Bb
So we started up the mountain
F Bb
I was running, he was walking
F G A Am
And his axe was made of gold
Am F
Well, the trees they got much smaller
Am F
The lake was like a lady's mirror
G F E
We stopped to drink some wine
Am F
Then he threw the bottle over
Am F
Broke a minute later
G F E
And he put his hand on mine
C
Thought I saw an eagle
C
But it might have been a vulture
D C B
I never could decide
F Bb
Then my father built an altar
F Bb
He looked once behind his shoulder
F G A Am
He knew I would not hide
Am F
You who build these altars now
Am F
To sacrifice these children
G F E
You must not do it anymore
Am F
A scheme is not a vision
Am F
And you never have been tempted
G F E
By a demon or a god
C
You who stand above them now
C
Your hatchets blunt and bloody
D C B
You were not there before
F Bb
When I lay upon a mountain
F Bb
And my father's hand was trembling
F G A Am
With the beauty of the word
Am F
And if you call me brother now
Am F
Forgive me if I inquire
G F E
"Just according to whose plan?"
Am F
When it all comes down to dust
Am F
I will kill you if I must
G F E
I will help you if I can
C
When it all comes down to dust
C
I will help you if I must
D C B
I will kill you if I can
F Bb
And mercy on our uniform
F Bb
Man of peace or man of war
F G A Am
The peacock spreads his fan

A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes

"I'd like to tell my story
F#m E Esus4 E E7
Before I turn into gold."
A Bm
But no one really could hear him
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2
The night so dark and thick and green
A Bm
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2
Where you and I have only been
D A
Put out your cigarette, my love
B E E7
You've been alone too long
D A
And some of us are very hungry now
F#m E Esus4 E E7
To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong
A Bm
I sing this for the crickets
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2
I sing this for the army
A Bm
I sing this for your children
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2
And for all who do not need me
D A
"I'd like to tell my story,"
B E E7
Said one of them so bold
D A
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
F#m E Esus4 E E7
'cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold."

Leonard Cohen - The Partisan
Intro:
Gm
Bb D Gm
When they poured across the border
Bb D Gm
I was cautioned to surrender

This I could not do
Eb Bb D Gm
I took my gun and vanished

I have changed my name so often

I've lost my wife and children

An old woman gave us shelter

Kept us hidden in the garret

She died without a whisper

There were three of us this morning
Bb D Gm
I'm the only one this evening
Bb F
But I must go on
Eb Bb D Gm
The frontiers are my prison
Bb D Gm
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
Bb D Gm
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Bb F
Freedom soon will come
Eb Bb D Gm
Then we'll come from the shadows
Bb D Gm
Les Allemands e'taient chez moi

Ils me dirent, "Signe toi"

Mais je n'ai pas peur

Then we'll come from the shadows

Leonard Cohen - Lady Midnight
Intro:
C
G G7 F C
I came by myself to a very crowded place
G G7 F C
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face
C C7 F
I found her there but she was past all concern
C F Dm
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady unfold me."
C F
But she scorned me and she told me
G G7 C
I was dead and I could never return
G G7 F C
Well, I argued all night like so many have before
G G7 F C
Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
C C7 F
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor
C F Dm
She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me
C F
Just win me or lose me
G G7 C
It is this that the darkness is for."
G G7 F C
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old
G G7 F C
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
C C7 F
"If we cry now," she said, "It will just be ignored."
C F Dm
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning
C F
I could hear my lady calling
G G7 C
"You've won me, you've won me, my lord
G G7 C
You've won me, you've won me my lord
G G7 C
Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord
G G7 C
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord
G G7 C
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."

Leonard Cohen - Tonight Will Be Fine
Intro:
A A A A
A E A
Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past
A E A
We swore to each other then that our love would surely last
A E A
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast
A E A
Now I am too thin and your love is too vast
D A
But I know from your eyes
D A
And I know from your smile
D A
That tonight will be fine
A E E7
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
A
For a while
A E A
I choose the rooms that I live in with care
A E A
The windows are small and the walls almost bare
A E A
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer
A E A
I listen all night for your step on the stair
D A
But I know from your eyes
D A
And I know from your smile
D A
That tonight will be fine
A E E7
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
A
For a while
A E A
Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me
A E A
She's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
A E A
And she's moving her body so brave and so free
A E A
If I've got to remember that's a fine memory
D A
And I know from her eyes
D A
And I know from her smile
D A
That tonight will be fine
A E E7
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine

For a while

La, la, la, la, la...
