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"
