E Esus4
Suzanne takes you down
E Esus4
To her place near the river
F#m F#m4
You can hear the boats go by
F#m F#m4
You can spend the night beside her
E Esus4
And you know that she's half crazy
E Esus4
But that's why you want to be there
G#m G#m4
And she feeds you tea and oranges
A Asus4
That come all the way from China
E Esus4
And just when you mean to tell her
F#m F#m4
That you have no love to give her
E Esus4
Then she gets you on her wavelenght
F#m F#m4
And she lets the river answer
E Esus4 Esus4 E Esus4 E
That you've always been her lover
G#m G#m4
And you want to travel with her
A Asus4
And you want to travel blind
E Esus4
And you know that she will trust you
F#m F#m4 E
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.
E Esus4 E
E Esus4 E
E Esus4
And Jesus was a sailor
E Esus4
When he walked upon the water
F#m F#m4
And he spent a long time watching
F#m F#m4
From his lonely wooden tower
E Esus4
And when he knew for certain
E Esus4
Only drowning men could see him
G#m G#m4
He said: "All men will be sailors then
A Asus4
Until the sea shall free them"
E Esus4
But he himself was broken
F#m F#m4
Long before the sky would open
E Esus4
Forsaken, almost human
F#m F#m4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
G#m G#m4
And you want to travel with him
A Asus4
And you want to travel blind
E Esus4
And you think maybe you'll trust him
F#m F#m4 E
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.
E Esus4 E
E Esus4 E
E Esus4
Now Suzanne takes your hand
E Esus4
And she leads you to the river
F#m F#m4
She is wearing rags and feathers
F#m F#m4
From Salvation Army counters
E Esus4
And the sun pours down like honey
E Esus4
On our lady of the harbour
G#m G#m4
And she shows you where to look
A Asus4
Among the garbage and the flowers
E Esus4
There are heroes in the seaweed
F#m F#m4
There are children in the morning
E Esus4
They are leaning out for love
F#m F#m4
And they will lean that way forever
E Esus4 Esus4 E Esus4 E
While Suzanne holds the mirror
G#m G#m4
And you want to travel with her
A Asus4
And you want to travel blind
E Esus4
And you know that you can trust her
F#m F#m4 E
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

2. Leonard Cohen - Master Song
Intro: Gm/D Gm/Bb Gm Gm/Bb
Ab Gm
I believe that you heard your master sing
Ab Gm
When I was sick in bed
Ab Gm
I suppose that he told you everything
Ab Gm
That I keep locked away in my head
Ab Cm
Your master took you travelling
Eb F
Well at least that's what you said
Bb Dm/A Bb Dm/A
And now do you come back to bring
Eb D Gm Gm/Bb
Your prisoner wine and bread?
Ab Gm
You met him at some temple
Ab Gm
Where they take your clothes at the door
Ab Gm
He was just a numberless man in a chair
Ab Gm
Who'd just come back from the war
Ab Cm
And you wrap up his tired face in your hair
Eb F
And he hands you the apple core
Bb Dm/A Bb Dm/A
Then he touches your lips now so suddenly bare
Eb D Gm Gm/Bb
Of all the kisses we put on some time before
Ab Gm
And he gave you a German Shepherd to walk
Ab Gm
With a collar of leather and nails
Ab Gm
And he never once made you explain or talk
Ab Gm
About all of the little details
Ab Cm
Such as who had a word and who had a rock
Eb F
And who had you through the mails
Bb Dm/A Bb Dm/A
Now your love is a secret all over the block
Eb D Gm Gm/Bb
And it never stops not even when your master fails
Ab Gm
And he took you up in his aeroplane
Ab Gm
Which he flew without any hands
Ab Gm
And you cruised above the ribbons of rain
Ab Gm
That drove the crowd from the stands
Ab Cm
Then he killed the lights in a lonely lane
Eb F
And an ape with angel glands
Bb Dm/A Bb Dm/A
Erased the final wisps of pain
Eb D Gm Gm/Bb
With the music of rubber bands
Ab Gm
And now I hear your master sing
Ab Gm
You kneel for him to come
Ab Gm
His body is a golden string
Ab Gm
That your body is hanging from
Ab Cm
His body is a golden string
Eb F
My body has grown numb
Bb Dm/A Bb Dm/A
Oh now you hear your master sing
Eb D Gm Gm/Bb
Your shirt is all undone
Ab Gm
And will you kneel beside this bed
Ab Gm
That we polished so long ago
Ab Gm
Before your master chose instead
Ab Gm
To make my bed of snow?
Ab Cm
Your eyes are wild and your knuckles are red
Eb F
And you're speaking far too low
Bb Dm/A Bb Dm/A
No I can't make out what your master said
Eb D Gm Gm/Bb
Before he made you go
Ab Gm
Then I think you're playing far too rough
Ab Gm
For a lady who's been to the moon
Ab Gm
I've lain by this window long enough
Ab Gm
To get used to an empty room
Ab Cm
And your love is some dust in an old man's cuff
Eb F
Who is tapping his foot to a tune
Bb Dm/A Bb Dm/A
And your thighs are a ruin, you want too much
Eb D Gm Gm/Bb
Let's say you came back some time too soon
Ab Gm
I loved your master perfectly
Ab Gm
I taught him all that he knew
Ab Gm
He was starving in some deep mystery
Ab Gm
Like a man who is sure what is true
Ab Cm
And I sent you to him with my guarantee
Eb F
I could teach him something new
Bb Dm/A Bb Dm/A
And I taught him how you would long for me
Eb D Gm Gm/Bb
No matter what he said, no matter what you'd do
I believe that you heard your master sing...

3. Leonard Cohen - Winter Lady
Intro: Amaj7 Dadd4 Dadd4
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
Trav'ling lady, stay awhile
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
Until the night is over
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
I'm just a station on your way
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
I know I'm not your lover
Dadd4/A Am7
Well I lived with a child of snow
Dadd4/A Am7
When I was a soldier
Dadd4/A Am7
And I fought every man for her
Dadd4/A Am7 Dadd4
Until the nights grew colder
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
She used to wear her hair like you
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
Except when she was sleeping
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
And then she'd weave it on a loom
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
Of smoke and gold and breathing
Dadd4/A Am7
And why are you so quiet now
Dadd4/A Am7
Standing there in the doorway?
Dadd4/A Am7
You chose your journey long before
Dadd4/A Am7 Dadd4
You came upon this highway
Trav'ling lady, stay awhile...

4. Leonard Cohen - The Stranger Song
Intro: Em
C Bb C G
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
D
Who said they were through with dealing
Em
Every time you gave them shelter
D
I know that kind of man
Em
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
D Em
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
D Em
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
C Bb C G
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
D
You find he did not leave you very much
Em
Not even laughter
D Em
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
D
That is so high and wild
Em
He'll never need to deal another
D Em
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
D Em
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
C Bb C
And then leaning on your window sill
G
He'll say one day you caused his will
D Em
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
D
And then taking from his wallet
Em
An old schedule of trains, he'll say
D Em
I told you when I came I was a stranger
D Em
I told you when I came I was a stranger
C Bb C
But now another stranger seems
G
To want you to ignore his dreams
D Em
As though they were the burden of some other
D
O you've seen that man before
Em
His golden arm dispatching cards
D Em
But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger
D Em
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
D Em
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter
C Bb C G
Ah you hate to watch another tired man
G
Lay down his hand
D Em
Like he was giving up the holy game of poker
D
And while he talks his dreams to sleep
Em
You notice there's a highway
D Em
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder
D Em
It's curling just like smoke above his shoulder
C Bb C
You tell him to come in sit down
G
But something makes you turn around
D Em
The door is open you can't close your shelter
D
You try the handle of the road
Em
It opens do not be afraid
D Em
It's you my love, you who are the stranger
D Em
It's you my love, you who are the stranger
C Bb C
Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
G D
We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
Em
I think it's time to board another
D Em
Please understand, I never had a secret chart
D
To get me to the heart of this
Em
Or any other matter
D Em
When he talks like this you don't know what he's after
D Em
When he speaks like this, you don't know what he's after
C Bb C
Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
G
Upon the shore, beneath the bridge
D Em
That they are building on some endless river
D
Then he leaves the platform
Em
For the sleeping car that's warm
D Em
You realize, he's only advertising on more shelter
D Em
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
D Em
And you say okay the bridge or someplace later
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind...
And leaning on your window sill...

5. Leonard Cohen - Sisters of Mercy
B E B F# B E B Bsus2 B
Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
D#m A#m D#m A#m F# F#sus4 F#
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on
E B A G#m F# F#sus4 F#
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song
B E B F# B E Esus4 B Bsus2 F#
Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long
B E B F# B E B Bsus2 B
Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control
D#m A#m D#m A#m F# F#sus4 F#
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul
E B A G#m F# F#sus4 F#
Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned
B E B F# B E Esus4 B Bsus2 F#
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned
B E B F# B E B Bsus2 B
Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them
D#m A#m D#m A#m F# F#sus4 F#
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem
E B A G#m F# F#sus4 F#
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
B E B F# B E Esus4 B Bsus2 F#
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem
B E B F# B E B Bsus2 B
When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon
D#m A#m D#m A#m F# F#sus4 F#
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon
E B A G#m F# F#sus4 F#
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they've sweetened your night
B E B F# B E F#
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right
B E B F# B
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right

6. Leonard Cohen - So Long, Marianne
Intro: A
A Bm
Come over to the window, my little darling
D A
I'd like to try to read your palm
G D
I used to think I was somekind of Gypsy boy
F#m E Esus4 E E7
Before I let you take me home
Chorus:
A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began
E Esus4 E E7 E Esus4 E E7 A Asus4 A Asus4 A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
A Bm
Well you know that I love to live with you
D A
But you make me forget so very much
G D
I forget to pray for the angels
F#m E Esus4 E E7
And then the angels forget to pray for us
Chorus...
A Bm
We met when we were almost young
D A
Deep in the green lilac park
G D
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
F#m E Esus4 E E7
As we went kneeling through the dark
Chorus...
A Bm
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
D A
Then why do I feel alone?
G D
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
F#m E Esus4 E E7
Is fastening my ankle to a stone
Chorus...
A Bm
For now I need your hidden love
D A
I'm cold as a new razor blade
G D
You left when I told you I was curious
F#m E Esus4 E E7
I never said that I was brave
Chorus...
A Bm
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
D A
I see you've gone and changed your name again
G D
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
F#m E Esus4 E E7
To wash my eyelids in the rain
Chorus...

7. Leonard Cohen - Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye
Intro: F
Bb
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Gm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Eb
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
Bb
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
Gm
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try
Eb
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
F Bb F
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
Bb
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Gm
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
Eb
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
Bb
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
Gm
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Eb
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
F Bb F
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I loved you in the morning...

8. Leonard Cohen - Stories of the Street
Am C Em Bm
The stories of the street are mine, the Spanish voices laugh
Am C Em Bm
The Cadillacs go creeping now through the night and the poison gas
Am F G F# B
And I lean from my window sill in this old hotel I chose
E A E D A Am
Yes one hand on my suicide, one hand on the rose
Am C Em Bm
I know you've heard it's over now and war must surely come
Am C Em Bm
The cities they are broke in half and the middle men are gone
Am F G F# B
But let me ask you one more time, o children of the dusk
E A E D A Am
All these hunters who are shrieking now oh do they speak for us?
Am C Em Bm
And where do all these highways go, now that we are free?
Am C Em Bm
Why are the armies marching still that were coming home to me?
Am F G F# B
O lady with your legs so fine, o stranger at your wheel
E A E D A Am
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal
Am C Em Bm
The age of lust is giving birth, and both the parents ask
Am C Em Bm
The nurse to tell them fairy tales on both sides of the glass
Am F G F# B
And now the infant with his cord is hauled in like a kite
E A E D A Am
And one eye filled with blueprints, one eye filled with night
Am C Em Bm
O come with me my little one, we will find that farm
Am C Em Bm
And grow us grass and apples there and keep all the animals warm
Am F G F# B
And if by chance I wake at night and I ask you who I am
E A E D A Am
O take me to the slaughterhouse, I will wait there with the lamb
Am C Em Bm
With one hand on the hexagram and one hand on the girl
Am C Em Bm
I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world
Am F G F# B
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky
E A E D A Am
And lost among the subway crowds I try to catch your eye

Leonard Cohen - Teachers
Bm G
I met a woman long ago
Bm G
Her hair the black that black can go
Bm G
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Bm
Soft she answered no
Bm G
I met a girl across the sea
Bm G
Her hair the gold that gold can be
Bm G
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Bm
Yes, but not for thee
Bm G
I met a man who lost his mind
Bm G
In some lost place I had to find
Bm G Bm
Follow me the wise man said
Bm
But he walked behind
Bm G
I walked into a hospital
Bm G
Where none was sick and none was well
Bm G
When at night the nurses left
Bm
I could not walk at all
Bm G
Morning came and then came noon
Bm G
Dinner time a scalpel blade
Bm G Bm
Lay beside my silver spoon
Bm G
Some girls wander by mistake
Bm G
Into the mess that scalpels make
Bm G
Are you the teachers of my heart?
Bm
We teach old hearts to break
Bm G
One morning I woke up alone
Bm G
The hospital and the nurses gone
Bm G
Have I carved enough my Lord?
Bm
Child, you are a bone
Bm G
I ate and ate and ate
Bm G
No I did not miss a plate, well
Bm G
How much do these suppers cost?
Bm
We'll take it out in hate
Bm G
I spent my hatred everyplace
Bm G
On every work on every face
Bm G
Someone gave me wishes
Bm
And I wished for an embrace
Bm G
Several girls embraced me
Bm G
Then I was embraced by men
Bm G
Is my passion perfect?
Bm
No, do it once again
Bm G
I was handsome, I was strong
Bm G
I knew the words of every song
Bm G
Did my singing please you?
Bm
No, the words you sang were wrong
Bm G
Who is it whom I address
Bm G
Who takes down what I confess?
Bm G
Are you the teachers of my heart?
Bm
We teach old hearts to rest
Bm G
Oh teachers are my lessons done?
Bm G
I cannot do another one
Bm G
They laughed and laughed and said, Well child
Bm
Are your lessons done?
Bm
Are your lessons done?
Bm
Are your lessons done?

Leonard Cohen - One of Us Cannot Be Wrong
Intro:
A
A Bm D A
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
A Bm D E
But the room just filled up with mosquitos, they heard that my body was free
F#m C#m D A
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night and I put it in your little shoe
Bm G Bm A G A
And then I confess that I tortured the dress that you wore for the world to look through
A Bm D A
I showed my heart to the doctor, he said I just have to quit
A Bm D E
Then he wrote himself a prescription and your name was mentioned in it
F#m C#m D A
Then he locked himself in a library shelf with the details of our honeymoon
Bm G Bm A G A
And I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse and his practice is all in a ruin
A Bm D A
I heard of a saint who had loved you, so I studied all night in his school
A Bm D E
He taught that the duty of lovers is to tarnish the golden rule
F#m C#m D A
And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure he drowned himself in the pool
Bm G Bm A G A
His body is gone but back here on the lawn his spirit continues to drool
A Bm D A
An Eskimo showed me a movie he'd recently taken of you
A Bm D E
The poor man could hardly stop shivering, his lips and his fingers were blue
F#m C#m D A
I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes and I guess he just never got warm
Bm G Bm A G A
But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice, oh please let me come into the storm
