First We Take Manhattan chords by Leonard Cohen |
No Easy Version
| 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 |
| But you see that line there |
| Am |
| Moving through the station |
| G F |
| I told you I told you |
| E Am |
| I told you I was one of those |
| Dm |
| You loved me as a loser |
| Am |
| but now your worried that I just might win |
| Dm |
| You know the way to stop me |
| Am |
| but you don't have the discipline |
| Dm |
| How many nights I prayed for this: |
| Am |
| to let my work begin |
| G F E |
| First we take Manhattan, |
| E Am |
| 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 |
| Dm Am |
| And I thank you for those items that you sent me |
| Dm Am |
| The monkey and 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 |
| Bridge: |
| Dm G Dm Dm x4 |
| 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 |
| Bridge: |
| Dm G Dm Dm x4 |
| Ending: |
| Dm Dm Dm G x4 |
