#

From: Harlan L Thompson

A BUNCH OF LONESOME HEROES- Leonard Cohen

    A                                       Bm

A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes

E              E7                A Asus4  A

Were smoking out along the open road

                                     Bm

The night was very dark and thick between them

E              E7              A Asus4 A

Each man beneath his ordinary load

CHORUS:

D Dmaj7  Bm           D        A Amaj7 F#m A

       "I'd like to tell my story"

   B                            E  E7

Said one of them so young and bold

D Dmaj7            Bm     D  A Amaj7  F#m A      

    "I'd like to tell my story

F#m                 E  Esus4 E E7

Before I turn into gold"

But no one really could hear him

The night so dark and thick and green

Well I guess that these heroes must always live there

Where you and I have only been

CHORUS #2:

Put out your cigarette, my love

You've been alone too long

And some of us are very hungry now

To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong

I sing this for the crickets

I sing this for the army

I sing this for your children

And for all who do not need me

CHORUS #3:

"I'd like to tell my story"

Said one of them so bold

"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story

'Cos you know I feel I'm turning into gold"
