Leonard Cohen – Almost Like The Blues (Guitar)

  Dm
I saw some people starving

          Dm
There was murder, there was rape

      Dm
Their villages were burning

          Dm
They were trying to escape

  Gm
I couldn't meet their glances

      Gm
I was staring at my shoes

       Dm
It was acid, it was tragic

       Dm
It was almost like the blues

 Am     Gm                          Dm     Dm
[Woo-oo-ooo] It was almost like the blues

  Dm
I have to die a little

   Dm
Between each murderous thought

    Dm
And when I'm finished thinking

  Dm
I have to die a lot

        Gm
There's torture and there's killing

            Gm
And there's all my bad reviews

    Dm
The war, the children missing

           Dm
Lord, it's almost like the blues

 Am  Gm                        Dm        Dm
[Woo-ooo] It's almost like the    blues

     Dm
So I let my heart get frozen

   Dm
To keep away the rot

   Dm
My father says I'm chosen 

   Dm
My mother says I'm not

  Gm
I listened to their story

       Gm
Of the Gypsies and the Jews

             Dm
It was good,    it wasn't boring

       Dm
It was almost like the blues

 Am           Gm                          Dm        Dm
[   Woo-oo-oo-ooo] It was almost like the    blues

      Dm
There is no G-d in Heaven

          Dm
And there is no Hell below

   Dm
So says the great professor

   Dm
Of all there is to know

         Gm
But I've had the invitation

       Gm
That a sinner can't refuse

         Dm
And it's almost like salvation

     Dm
It's almost like the blues

 Am         Gm                        Dm        Dm
[Wooo-oo-oo-ooo] It's almost like the    blues

 Am         Gm                   Dm        Dm
[Wooo-oo-oo-ooo] Almost like the    blues

 Am           Gm                   Dm         Dm Dm Dm
[   Woo-oo-oo-ooo, Almost like the    blues]
