Leonard Cohen – A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes (Guitar)

A                                          Bm
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes

E                 E7             A   Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
Were smoking out along the open road;

A                                    Bm       Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
The night was very dark and thick between them,

E           E7                 A   Asus4 A Asus2 A
Each man beneath his ordinary load.

D                     A     A/G#  A/F#  A/E
"I'd like to tell my story, "

B                              E    E7
Said one of them so young and bold,

D                     A     A/G#  A/F#  A/E
"I'd like to tell my story,

F#m                 E     E7
Before I turn into gold."

A                        Bm      Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
But no one really could hear him,

E            E7                  A   Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
The night so dark and thick and green;

A                                           Bm      Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there

E              E7          A   Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
Where you and I have only been.

D                       A       A/G#  A/F#  A/E
Put out your cigarette, my love,

B                      E    E7
You've been alone too long;

D                         A       A/G#  A/F#  A/E
And some of us are very hungry now

   F#m                                      E Esus4 E E7
To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong.

A                     Bm    Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
I sing this for the crickets,

E          E7        A    Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
I sing this for the army,

A                     Bm      Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
I sing this for your children

E          E7               A  Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
And for all who do not need me.

  D                    A       A/G#   A/F#  A/E
"I'd like to tell my story, "

B                     E  E7
Said one of them so bold,

 D                             A   A/G#  A/F#  A/E
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story

  F#m                                    E     E7
'Cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold."
