Song of Bernadette by Leonard Cohen

C G F F G C

There was a child Named Bernadette, I heard the story long ago

C G F G C

She saw the queen of heaven once and kept the vision in her soul

C7 F D G

No one believed what she had seen, no one believed what she had heard

C G F Dm7 G C

That there were sorrows to be healed and mercy, mercy in this world.

F Am

So many hearts I find, Broke like yours and mine

F Dm7 G7

Torn by what we've done and can't undo.

C G F Am

I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you

F G C

Like Bernadette would do.

C G F F G C

We've been around we fall, we fly. We mostly fall we mostly run.

C G F F G C

And every now and then we try, to mend the damage that we've done.

C7 F D G

Tonight, tonight I cannot rest. I've got this joy here inside my breast.

C G F Dm7 G C

To think that I did not forget, that child, that song of Bernadette.

Repeat chorus

C G F Am F G C

I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you, like Bernadette would do.
