Leonard Cohen - You Know Who I Am guitar tab

From: Harlan L Thompson

YOU KNOW WHO I AM- Leonard Cohen

Am (riff 2x)

Am Bm

I cannot follow you my love

Am Bm

You cannot follow me

D A

I am the distance you put between

G G/F# E

All of the moments that we will be

CHORUS:

D A

You know who I am

D A

You've stared at the sun

D A

Well I am the one who loves

G G/# E Am (riff)

Changing from nothing to one

Sometimes I need you naked

Sometimes I need you wild

I need you to carry my children in

And I need you to kill a child ...CHORUS

If you should ever track me down

I will surrender there

And I will leave with you one broken man

Whom I will teach you to repair ...CHORUS

I cannot follow you, my love

You cannot follow me

I am the distance you put between

All of the moments that we will be ...CHORUS
