Leonard Cohen
Ton : DCapo 3
Intro :D E7 Em A7 G D (x2)
Ah the mDan she wanted all her life was haE7nging by a thread
"I neEmver even knA7ew how much I wGanted you" she saDid.
His muDscles they were numbered and his stE7yle was obsolete.
"Oh bEmaby I have cA7ome too late." She knGelt beside his fDeet.
"I'll neDver see a face like yours in yE7ears of men to come
I'll neEmver see such arA7ms again in wrGestling or in lDove."
And aDll his virtues burning in the sE7moky Holocaust
She tEmook unto hersA7elf most everytGhing her lover lDost
Bm Now the master of this landscape he was standing at the view
with a spEmarrow of St. Francis that he was preaching to
She beF#mckoned to the sentry of his high religious mood
She said "I'll maEmke a place betEmween D#my legs I'll shEmow yoDu solitudA7e."
D
He ofDfered her an orgy in a many mE7irrored room
He pEmromised her pA7rotection for the iGssue of her wDomb
She mDoved her body hard against a shE7arpened metal spoon
She stEmopped the bloody riA7tuals of paGssage to the mDoon
D E7 Em A7 G D
She toDok his much admired oE7riental frame of mind
and the hEmeart-of-darkness alA7ibi his mGoney hides beDhind
She toDok his blonde madonna and his mE7onastery wine
"This meEmntal space is ocA7cupied and evGerything is miDne."
D
He trDied to make a final stand besE7ide the railway track
She said "The aEmrt of longing's oA7ver and it's nGever coming bDack."
She tDook his tavern parliament his cE7ap his cocky dance
She mEmocked his female faA7shions and his wGorking-class moustDache.
Bm Now the last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get
A woEmman's education but he's not a woman yet
And the lF#mast time that I saw her she was living with some boy
Who giEmves her soul an eEmmpty D#room and giEmves hDer body joy.A7
So the great afDfair is over but whE7oever would have guessed
It would leEmave us all so vA7acant and so deGeply unimpDressed?
It's lDike our visit to the moon or tE7o that other star
I gEmuess you go for nA7othing if you reGally want to go that fDar.
