Passing Through (Leonard Cohen)

	D	G	D
I saw	Jesus on the cross on a	hill called Calva	ry

	A
"Do you hate mankind for what they done to	you?"

	D	G	D
He said, "	Talk of love not hate, things to	do - it's getting	late.

	A	D
I've so little time and I'm	only passing	through."

	D	G	D
I saw	Adam leave the Garden with an	apple in his	hand,

	A
I said "Now you're out, what are you going to	do?"

	D	G	D
"Plant some	crops and pray for rain, maybe	raise a little	cane.

	A	D
I'm an orphan now, and I'm	only passing	through."

	D	G	D
I was with	Washington at Valley Ford,	shivering in the	snow.

	A
I said, "How come the men here suffer like they	do?"

	D	G	D
"Men will	suffer, men will fight, even	die for what is	right

	A	D
even though they know they're	only passing	through"

	D	G	D
I was with	Franklin Roosevelt's side on the	night before he	died.

	A
He said, "One world must come out of World War	Two" (ah, the fool)

	D	G	D
"Yankee,	Russian, white or tan," he said, "A	man is still a	man.

	A	D
We're all on one road, and we're	only passing	through."
