Bảng hợp âm và lời bài hát The Traitor – Leonard Cohen
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Now the Swan it floated on the English river
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Ah the Rose of High Romance it opened wide
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
A sun tanned woman yearned me through the summer
ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
and the judges watched us from the other side
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I told my mother Mother I must leave you
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
preserve my room but do not shed a tear
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Should rumour of a shabby ending reach you
ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
it was half my fault and half the atmosphere
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But the Rose I sickened with a scarlet fever
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
and the Swan I tempted with a sense of shame
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
She said at last I was her finest lover
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
and if she withered I would be to blame
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The judges said you missed it by a fraction
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
rise up and brace your troops for the attack
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Ah the dreamers ride against the men of action
ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Oh see the men of action falling back
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But I lingered on her thighs a fatal moment
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I kissed her lips as though I thirsted still
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
My falsity had stung me like a hornet
ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The poison sank and it paralysed my will
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I could not move to warn all the younger soldiers
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
that they had been deserted from above
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
So on battlefields from here to Barcelona
ch]D[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
I'm listed with the enemies of love
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And long ago she said I must be leaving,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Ah but keep my body here to lie upon
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
You can move it up and down and when I'm sleeping
ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Run some wire through that Rose and wind the Swan
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
So daily I renew my idle duty
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I touch her here and there, I know my place
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I kiss her open mouth and I praise her beauty
ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
and people call me traitor to my face
