Leonard Cohen - First We Take Manhattan
|
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
|
|
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
