Subject: CRD: FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN - Leonard Cohen

>From ttgssa@eua.ericsson.se (Stefan Svala)

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)

        Dm                             Am

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

       Dm                              Am

For trying to change the system from within

       Dm                       Am

I'm coming now I'm coming to reward   them

  G                  F  E                 Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

       Dm                        Am

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

       Dm                         Am

I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

       Dm                         Am

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

  G                  F  E                 Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

    C                                G    F

I'd really like to live beside you, baby

              C                             Am

I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

         C                                       Am

But you see that line there moving through the station

    G          F          E                      Am

I told you I told you I told you I was one of those

       Dm                              Am

You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win

     Dm                             Am

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

     Dm                                Am

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

  G                  F  E                 Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Dm                                   Am

I don't like your fashion business, mister

Dm                                      Am

I don't like these drugs that keep you thin

Dm                                  Am

I don't like what happened to your sister

  G                  F  E                 Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin  (chorus)

       Dm                                Am

And I thank you for those items that you sent me

    Dm                         Am

The monkey end the plywood violin

    Dm                               Am

I practiced every night and now I'm ready

  G                  F  E                 Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

   Dm                            Am

Remember me, I used to live for music

   Dm                                  Am

Remember me, I brought your groceries in

       Dm                          Am

It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded

  G                  F  E                 Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
