Light As The Breeze
Leonard Cohen
Ton : G
Intro :C G (x4)
She staCnds before you naked
You can sDmee it you can taste it
And she coGmes to you light as the breCeze
Now you can driCnk it or you can nurse it
It don't maDmtter how you worship
As loGng as you're down on your kneCes
So I kneClt there at the delta
At the aDmlpha and the omega
At the craGdle of the river and the seCas
And like a bleCssing come from heaven
For soDmmething like a second
I was heGaled and my heart was at eCase
O baE7by I waited
So loAmng for your kiss
For soE7mething to happen
OFh something like thiCs
E7(dim) F7(dim) G#7(dim) G
And you're weCak and you're harmless
And you're sleDmeping in your harness
And the wiGnd going wild in the treCes
And it aiCn't exactly prison
But you'll nDmever be forgiven
For whatevGer you've done with the keCys
O baE7by I waited
So loAmng for your kiss
For soE7mething to happen
OFh something like thiCs
E7(dim) F7(dim) G#7(dim) G
It's daCrk now and it's snowing
O my loDmve I must be going
The riGver has started to freCeze
And I'm siCck of pretending
I'm brDmoken from bending
I've liGved too long on my kneCes
Then she daCnces so graceful
And your heDmart's hard and hateful
And she's naGked but that's just a teCase
And you tuCrn in disgust
From your haDmtred and from your love
And she coGmes to you light as the breCeze
O baE7by I waited
So loAmng for your kiss
For soE7mething to happen
OFh something like thiCs
Something like tE7(dim)his F7(dim) G#7(dim) G
There's bloCod on every bracelet
You can seDme it you can taste it
And it's pleGase baby please baby pleCase
And she saCys drink deeply pilgrim
But don't forgDmet there's still a woman
BeneGath this resplendent cheCmise
So I kneE7lt there at the delta
At the aAmlpha and the omega
I knE7elt there like one who beliFeves
And the bleCssings come from heaven
And for E7(dim)something F7(dim)like a secondG#7(dim)
I'm cuGred and my heart is at ease
C Dm G (x2)
