1. You Want it Darker

Leonard Cohen / Leonard Cohen: You Want it Darker (2016)

	e	G	a
	Intro

	e
	If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game.

	G	a
If you are the healer, it means	I'm broken	and lame.

	e
	If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame.

	G	a		e	G	a
You want it darker,			We kill the flame.

	e
	Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name.

	G	a
Vilified, crucified, in	the human fram	e.

	e
	A million candles burning for the help that never came - You want it darker.

	G	a	C	G	D	e	G	a
(	Ooh	Ooh	Ooh	Ooh)	Hineni, hineni - I'm ready, my lord

There's a lover in the story, But the story's still the same.

There's a lullaby for suffering - And a paradox to blame.

But it's written in the scriptures, And it's not some idle claim.

You want it darker - We kill the flame.

They're lining up the prisoners - And the guards are taking aim.

I struggled with some demons, They were middle class and tame.

I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim - You want it darker.

(Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) - Hineni, hineni - I'm ready, my lord

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name.

Vilified, crucified, in the human frame.

A million candles burning for the love that never came.

You want it darker - We kill the flame.

If you are the dealer, let me out of the game.

If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame.

If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame.

You want it darker

(Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) - Hineni, hineni

(Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) - Hineni, hineni - I'm ready, my lord

(Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) - Hi-ne-ni - (Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh) - Hi-ne-ni

2. Tonight Will be Fine

Leonard Cohen : Songs from a Room (1969)

standard Gesang: Johnny

	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.

	E	A
You kept right on loving,	I went on a	fast,

	E	A
Now I am too thin and your	love is too	vast.

	D	A	D	A
But I	know from your	eyes, And I	know from your	smile:

	D	A
That to	night will be	fine, will be fine, will be fine,

	E	E7	A
Will be	fine	for a	while.

Blues/Soul Gesang Christiane

	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.

	E7	G	D7	A
There's only one bed and there's	only -	only	one	prayer.

	C	E7
I listen all night for your	step on the	stair.

	D7	A7	D7	A7
But I	know from your	eyes, And I	know from your	smile:

	D7	A7
That to	night will be	fine, will be fine, will be fine,

	E	E7	A
Will be	fine	for a	while.

standard Gesang: Johnny

	A	E	A
	Oh sometimes I see her un	dressing for	me.

	A	E	A
She's the	soft naked lady love	meant her to	be.

	E	A
And she's moving her body so	brave and so	free.

	E	A
If I've got to remember that's a	fine memo	ry.

	D	A	D	A
But I	know from your	eyes, And I	know from your	smile:

	D	A
That to	night will be	fine, will be fine, will be fine,

	E	E7	A
Will be	fine	for a	while.

3. The Guests

Leonard Cohen / Leonard Cohen: Recent Songs (1979)

	e	D	C	D
	One by one,	the guests arrive,	the guests are coming	through.

	e	D	C	E
	The open-hearted m	any,	the broken-hearted	few.

	A	D
And	no one knows where the	night is going

	A	D
And	no one knows why the	wine is flowing

	C
	Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

	E7	A
	now - - I need you	now.

And those who dance, begin to dance, those who weep begin

And "welcome, welcome" cries a voice "let all my guests come in."

And no one knows where the night is going

And no one knows why the wine is flowing

Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

now - - I need you now.

And all go stumbling through that house, in lonely secrecy

Saying "do reveal yourself", or "why has thou forsaken me? "

And no one knows...

All at once, the torches flare, the inner door flies open

One by one, they enter there, in every style of passion

And no one knows...

And here they take their sweet repast, while house and grounds dissolve

And one by one the guests are cast, beyond the garden wall

And no one knows...

And those who dance, begin to dance, those who weep begin

Those who earnestly are lost, are lost and lost again

And no one knows...

One by one, the guests arrive, the guests are coming through

The open-hearted many, the broken-hearted few

And no one knows...

5. First we Take Manhattan

Leonard Cohen

	d	a
They	sentenced me to twenty years of	boredom,

	d	a
For	trying to change the system from	within.

	d	a
I'm	coming now I'm coming to	reward them:

	G	F	E	a
	First we take Man	hattan,	then we take Ber	lin.

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens. I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin.

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons: First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

	C	G	F
I'd	really like to live beside you,	baby.

	C	a
I love your	body and your spirit and your	clothes,

	C	a
But you	see that line there moving through the	station.

	G	F	E	a
I	told you - I	told you - I	told you I was one of	those.

You loved me as a loser but now you're worried that I just might win.

You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline.

How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin:

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

I don't like your fashion business, mister. I don't like these drugs that keep you thin.

I don't like what happened to your sister: First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

I'd really like to live beside you, baby.

I love your body and your spirit and your clothes.

But you see that line there moving through the station:

I told you - I told you - I told you I was one of those.

And I thank you for those items that you sent me. The monkey and the plywood violin.

I practiced every night and now I'm ready: First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

Remember me, I used to live for music. Remember me, I brought your groceries in.

It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded: First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin.

Dance me to the end of love, Dance me to the end of love.

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on

Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long

We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above

Dance me to the end of love, Dance me to the end of love.

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born

Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn

Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in

Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove

7. There is a War

Leonard Cohen / Leonard Cohen: New Skin for the Old Ceremony (1974)

	a
There is a	war between the rich and poor a

	G
War be-tween the man and the	woman.

	a
There is a	war be-tween the ones who say there is a

	G
war and the ones who say there	isn't.

	D	C	G
Why don't you	come on back to the	war, that's right, get	in it,

	D	C	G
Why don't you	come on back to the	war, it's just be	ginning.

Well I live here with a woman and a child,

The situation makes me kind of nervous.

Yes, I rise up from her arms, she says "I guess you call this love";

I call it service. Why don't you come on back to the war, don't be a tourist,

why don't you come on back to the war, before it hurts us,

Why don't you come on back to the war, let's all get nervous.

You cannot stand what I've become,

You much prefer the gentleman I was before.

I was so easy to defeat, I was so easy to control,

I didn't even know there was a war.

Why don't you come on back to the war, don't be embarrassed,

Why don't you come on back to the war, you can still get married.

There is a war between the rich and poor,

A war between the man and the woman.

There is a war between the left and right,

A war between the black and white,

A war between the odd and the even.

Why don't you come on back to the war, pick up your tiny burden,

Why don't you come on back to the war, let's all get even,

Why don't you come on back to the war, can't you hear me speaking?

8. The Future

Leonard Cohen / Leonard Cohen: The Future (1992)

	a

	d
Give me back my broken night, my	mirrored room, my secret life,

	G6	E7	a
It's	lonely here, there's no	one left to	torture.

	d
Give me absolute control	over every living soul

	G6	a
And	lie beside me, baby, that's an	order!

	d
Give me crack and anal sex,	take the only tree that's left,

	G6	E7	a
	stuff it up the	hole in your cul	ture.

	d
Give me back the Berlin Wall,	give me Stalin and St. Paul.

	G6	E7	a
I've	seen the future,	brother: it is	murder.

	d	C
	Things are gonna slide, (	slide) in all directions,

	d	C
Won't be	nothing (won't be) nothing you can't	measure anymore.

	d	F
The	blizzard, the blizzard of the	world has crossed the threshold

	f	C
and it's	overturned the order of the	soul.

	\|:		G

	a	:\|
I wonder	what they meant.	:\| (3x)

You don't know me from the wind, you never will, you never did,

I'm the little jew who wrote the bible.

I've seen the nations rise and fall, I've heard their stories, heard them all,

But love's the only engine of survival.

Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear, to say it cold:

It's over, it ain't going any further.

And now the wheels of heaven stop, you feel the devil's riding crop,

Get ready for the future: it is murder.

Things are gonna slide, (slide) in all directions.

Won't be nothing, (won't be) nothing you can measure anymore.

The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold

And it's overturned the order of the soul.

You'll see your	woman hanging upside down, her	features covered by her fallen gown.

9. Suzanne

Leonard Cohen

	E
	Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river,

	f#
You can	hear the boat go by, and you spend the night beside her.

	E
And you	know that she's half crazy, but that's why you want to be there

	g#	A
And she	feeds you tea and oranges that come	all the way from China.

	E	f#
And	when you mean to tell her that you	have no love to give her.

	E
Then she	gets you on her wave-length

	f#	E
And she	lets the river answer that you’ve	always been her lover.

	g#	A
And you	want to travel with her, and you	want to travel blind,

	E	f#
And you	know she will trust you for you’ve	touched her perfect body

	E
With your	mind.

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water.

And he spend a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower.

And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him

He said: "All men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them".

But he himself was broken long bevor the sky war open

Forsaken, almost human,

He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone.

And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind

And you think maybe you'll trust him for he's touched you perfect body

With his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river

She is wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters.

And the sun pours down like honey for our lady of the harbour,

and she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers.

There are heros in the seaweed, there are children in the morning

They are leaning out for love

And they will lean that way forever, while Suzanne holds the mirror.

And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind,

And you know that you can trust her for she's touched your perfect body

With her mind.

Leonard Cohen / Leonard Cohen: Sogs from a Room (1969)

	A	E	A	D
Like a	bird on the	wire, like a	drunk in a midnight	choir,

	A	E	A	Asus4	A
I have	tried in my	way to be	free.

	A	E	A	D
Like a	worm on a	hook, like a	knight from some old-fashioned	book,

I have	saved all my	ribbons for	thee.

	If I, if I have been un	kind,

	D	A
	If I, if I have been un	true,

	h	E
	I hope you know it was never to	you.

	A	E	A	D
Like a	baby still	born, like a	beast with his	horn,

	A	E	A	Asus4	A
I have	torn every	one who reached out for	me.

	A	E	A	D
But I	swear by this	song 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.

	h	A
	He said to me, "You must not ask for so	much."

	D	A
	And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened	door,

	h	E
	She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for	more?"

	A	E	A	D
Like a	bird on the	wire, like a	drunk in a midnight	choir,

	A	E	D	A
I have	tried in my	way to be	free

And if you've got to sleep a moment on the road, I will steer for you.

And if you want to work the street alone, I'll disappear for you.

If you want a father for your child,

Or only want to walk with me a while

Across the sand: I'm your man!

If you want a lover, I'll do anything you ask me to,

And if you want another kind of love, I'll wear a mask for you...

12. The Partisan (La Complainte du Partisan)

Bernard, Anna Marly, Hy Saret (engl. Text) /Leonard Cohen: Songs from a room (1969)

	e	G	D	e	G	D	e
	When they	poured a	cross the	border I was	cautioned	to sur	render,

	G	D	C	G	H7	e
This I	could not	do.	I took my gun and	vanished.

I have changed my name so often, I've lost my wife and children,

But I have many friends. And some of them are with me.

An old woman gave us shelter, Kept us hidden in the garret.

Then the soldiers came: She died without a whisper.

There were three of us this morning, I'm the only one this evening.

But I must go on, the frontiers are my prison.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing Through the graves, the wind is blowing.

Freedom soon will come, Then we'll come from the shadows.

Les Allemands étaient chez moi. Ils me dirent: resigne-toi.

Mais je n'ai pas pu, J'ai repris mon arme.

J'ai changé cent fois de nom. J'ai perdu femme et enfants.

Mais j'ai tant d'amis, J'ai la France entière.

Un vieil homme dans un grenier Pour la nuit nous a cachés.

Les Allemands l'ont pris, Il est mort sans surprise.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing Through the graves, the wind is blowing.

Freedom soon will come, Then we'll come from the shadows.

13. Joan of Arc

Leonard Cohen / Leonard Cohen: Songs of Love and Hate (1971)

	G	D
	Now the flames they followed Joan of	Arc

	C	G
	As she came riding through the	dark.

	A	D
	No moon to keep her	armour bright,

	A	G	D
No	man to get her through t	his (dark and) very smoky night.

She said, "I'm tired of the war.

I want the kind of work I had before,

A wedding dress or something white

To wear upon my swollen appetite."

	D/A		D	a
		La	la la, la la la, la la la la la	la,

			C	G	D	G
		La la la la la	la, la la la la la	la,	la la la la la	la.

Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,

You know I've watched you riding every day.

And something in me yearns to win

Such a cold and lonesome heroine.

"And who are you?" she sternly spoke

To the one beneath the smoke.

"Why, I'm fire," he replied

"And I love your solitude, I love your pride." - La la la...

"Then fire, make your body cold

I'm going to give you mine to hold,"

Saying this she climbed inside

To be his one, to be his only bride.

And deep into his fiery heart

He took the dust of Joan of Arc.

And high above the wedding guests

He hung the ashes of her wedding dress. - La la la...

It was deep into his fiery heart

He took the dust of Joan of Arc.

And then she clearly understood:

If he was fire, oh then she must be wood.

I saw her wince, I saw her cry,

I saw the glory in her eye.

Myself I long for love and light,

But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright? - La la la...

Who	in your	merry, merry	month of May,

	C	G7	C	a	faj7	E
	Who by	various	slow decay and	who shall I	say is	callling.

And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,

who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,

who by avalanche, who by powder,

who for his greed, who for his hunger,

and who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent, who by accident,

who in solitude, who in this mirror,

who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,

who in mortal chains, who in power,

and who shall I say is calling?

15. Tower of Song

Leonard Cohen/Leonard Cohen: I'm your Man (1988)

	G
Well my	friends are gone and my hair is grey,

I ache in the places where I used to play,

	C	G
And I'm	crazy for love but I'm not coming	on.

	D	C	G
I'm just	paying my rent every	day - In the Tower of	Song.

I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get?

Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.

But I hear him coughing all night long.

A hundred floors above me - In the Tower of Song.

I was born like this, I had no choice.

I was born with the gift of a golden voice,

And twenty-seven angels from the Great beyond,

They tied me to this table right here - In the Tower of Song.

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll.

I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all.

I'm standing by the window where the light is strong.

They don't let a woman kill you, not - In the Tower of Song.

Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure:

The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor,

And there's a mighty judgement coming. But I may be wrong:

You see, you hear these funny voices - In the Tower of Song.

Bridge

	And all the bridges are burning that we	might have crossed.

	e	D
	But I feel so close to everything	that we lost,

	C	D
We'll	never have to lose it a	gain.

I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back.
