 1. Bird on the Wire
 --------------------------
 Tuning: Standard
 Songwriters: Leonard Cohen
 Like a bird on the wire
 Like a drunk in a midnight choir
 I have tried in my way to be free
 Like a worm on a hook
 Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
 I have saved all my ribbons for thee
    
 If I, if I have been unkind
 I hope that you can just let it go by
 If I, if I have been untrue
 I hope you know it was never to you
 Like a baby, stillborn
 Like a beast with his horn
 I have torn everyone who reached out for me
 But I swear by this song
 And by all that I have done wrong
 I will make it all up to thee
    
 I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
 He said to me, "you must not ask for so much"
 And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
 She cried to me, "hey, why not ask for more?"
 Oh, like a bird on the wire
 Like a drunk in a midnight choir
 I have tried in my way to be free

 The door it opened slowly,
 My father he came in,
 I was nine years old.
 And he stood so tall above me,
 His blue eyes they were shining
 And his voice was very cold.
    
 [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]*
 He said, "I've had a vision
 [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]*
 And you know I'm strong and holy,
 I must do what I've been told."
 So he started up the mountain,
 I was running, he was walking,
 And his axe was made of gold.
 Well, the trees they got much smaller,
 The lake a lady's mirror,
 We stopped to drink some wine.
 Then he threw the bottle over.
 Broke a minute later
 And he put his hand on mine.
    
 [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]*
 Thought I saw an eagle
 [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]*
 But it might have been a vulture,
 I never could decide.
 Then my father built an altar,
 He looked once behind his shoulder,
 He knew I would not hide.
 You who build these altars now
 To sacrifice these children,
 You must not do it anymore.
 A scheme is not a vision
 And you never have been tempted
 By a demon or a god.
    
 [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]*
 You who stand above them now,
 [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]*
 Your hatchets blunt and bloody,
 You were not there before,
 When I lay upon the mountain
 And my father's hand was trembling
 With the beauty of the word.
 And if you call me brother now,
 Forgive me if I inquire,
 "just according to whose plan?"
 When it all comes down to dust
 I will kill you if I must,
 I will help you if I can.
    
 [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]*
 When it all comes down to dust
 [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]*
 I will help you if I must,
 I will kill you if I can.
 And mercy on our uniform,
 Man of peace or man of war,
 The peacock spreads his fan.

 3. A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes
 ------------------------------
 Tuning: Standard
 Songwriters: Leonard Cohen
 A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
 Were smoking out along the open road;
 The night was very dark and thick between them,
 Each man beneath his ordinary load.
    
 "I'd like to tell my story, "
 Said one of them so young and bold,
 "I'd like to tell my story,
 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.
    
 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.
    
 "I'd like to tell my story, "
 Said one of them so bold,
 "Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
 'Cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold."

 When they poured across the border
 I was cautioned to surrender
 This I could not do
 I took my gun and vanished.
 I have changed my name so often
 I've lost my wife and children
 But I have many friends
 And some of them are with me
 An old woman gave us shelter
 Kept us hidden in the garret
 Then the soldiers came
 She died without a whisper
 There were three of us this morning
 I'm the only one this evening
 But I must go on
 The frontiers are my prison
    
 Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
 Through the graves the wind is blowing
 Freedom soon will come
 Then we'll come from the shadows
 Les Allemands étaient chez moi
 Ils me dirent, "résigne toi"
 Mais je n'ai pas peur
 J'ai repris mon âme âme âme
 J'ai changé cent fois de nom
 J'ai perdu femme et enfants
 Mais j'ai tant d'amis
 J'ai la France entière entière entière
 Un vieil homme dans un grenier
 Pour la nuit nous a caché
 Les Allemands l'ont pris
 Il est mort sans surprise
    
 Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
 Through the graves the wind is blowing
 Freedom soon will come
 Then we'll come from the shadows

 It seems so long ago,
 Nancy was alone,
 Looking at the Late Late show
 Through a semi-precious stone.
    
 In the House of Honesty
 Her father was on trial,
 In the House of Mystery
 There was no one at all,
 There was no one at all.
 It seems so long ago,
 None of us were strong
 Nancy wore green stockings
 And she slept with everyone.
    
 She never said she'd wait for us
 Although she was alone,
 I think she fell in love for us
 In nineteen sixty one,
 In nineteen sixty one.
 It seems so long ago,
 Nancy was alone,
 A forty five beside her head,
 An open telephone.
    
 We told her she was beautiful,
 We told her she was free
 But none of us would meet her in
 The House of Mystery,
 The House of Mystery.
 And now you look around you,
 See her everywhere,
 Many use her body,
 Many comb her hair.
    
 In the hollow of the night
 When you are cold and numb
 You hear her talking freely then,
 She's happy that you've come,
 She's happy that you've come.

 6. The Old Revolution
 --------------------------
 Tuning: Standard
 Songwriters: Leonard Cohen
 I finally broke into the prison,
 I found my place in the chain.
 Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows,
 All the brave young men
 They're waiting now to see a signal
 Which some killer will be lighting for pay.
    
 Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
 You whom I cannot betray.
 I fought in the old revolution
 On the side of the ghost and the King.
 Of course I was very young
 And I thought that we were winning;
 I can't pretend I still feel very much like singing
 As they carry the bodies away.
    
 Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
 You whom I cannot betray.
 Lately you've started to stutter
 As though you had nothing to say.
 To all of my architects let me be traitor.
 Now let me say I myself gave the order
 To sleep and to search and to destroy.
    
 Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
 You whom I cannot betray.
 Yes, you who are broken by power,
 You who are absent all day,
 You who are kings for the sake of your children's story,
 The hand of your beggar is burdened down with money,
 The hand of your lover is clay.
    
 Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
 You whom I cannot betray.

 7. The Butcher
 ------------------------------
 Tuning: Standard
 Songwriters: Leonard Cohen

 I came upon a butcher,
 He was slaughtering a lamb,
 I accused him there
 With his tortured lamb.
 He said "Listen to me, child,
 I am what I am
 And you, you are my only son."
 Well, I found a silver needle,
 I put it into my arm.
 It did some good,
 Did some harm.
 But the nights were cold
 And it almost kept me warm,
 How come the night is long?
 I saw some flowers growing up
 Where that lamb fell down;
 Was I supposed to praise my Lord,
 Make some kind of joyful sound?
 He said, "Listen, listen to me now,
 I go round and round
 And you, you are my only child."
 Do not leave me now,
 Do not leave me now,
 I'm broken down
 From a recent fall.
 Blood upon my body
 And ice upon my soul,
 Lead on, my son, 'tis your world.

 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.
    
 You know who I am,
 You've stared at the sun,
 Well I am the one who loves
 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.
    
 You know who I am
 You've stared at the sun,
 Well I am the one who loves
 Changing from nothing to one.
 | | | | |
 | | | | |
 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.
    
 You know who I am
 You've stared at the sun,
 Well I am the one who loves
 Changing from nothing to one.

 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.
    
 You know who I am,
 You've stared at the sun,
 Well I am the one who loves
 Changing from nothing to one.

 I came by myself to a very crowded place;
 I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.
 I found her there but she was past all concern;
 I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me, "
 But she scorned me and she told me
 I was dead and I could never return.
 Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
 Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
 Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
 She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,
 Just win me or lose me,
 It is this that the darkness is for."
    
 I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
 The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
 "If we cry now, " she said, "it will just be ignored."
 So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,
 I could hear my lady calling,
 "You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
 You've won me, you've won me, my lord,
 Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
 Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,
 Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."

 10. Tonight Will Be Fine
 -------------------------------
 Tuning: Standard
 Songwriters: Leonard Cohen
 Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past
 We swore to each other then that our love would surely last
 You kept right on loving, I went on a fast
 Now I am too thin and your love is too vast
    
 But I know from your eyes
 And I know from your smile
 That tonight will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
 Will be fine for a while
 I choose the rooms that I live in with care
 The windows are small and the walls almost bare
 There's only one bed and there's only one prayer
 I listen all night for your step on the stair
    
 But I know from your eyes
 And I know from your smile
 That tonight will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
 Will be fine for a while
 Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me
 She's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
 And she's moving her body so brave and so free
 If I've got to remember that's a fine memory
    
 But I know from your eyes
 And I know from your smile
 That tonight will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
 Will be fine for a while
