Leonard Cohen – Lady Midnight (Guitar)

    G       G7        Fadd9         C
I came by myself to a very crowded place;

        G            G7           Fadd9        C
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face.

C                C7            F        
I found her there but she was past all concern;

C               F       Dm
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me, "

          C                 F
But she scorned me and she told me

       G  G7                  C
I was dead and I could never return.

          G         G7        Fadd9          C
Well, I argued all night like so many have before,

  G              G7                       Fadd9        C
Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."

                      C7         F
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,

            C            F    Dm
She said, "Don't try to use me or slyly refuse me,

C               F
Just win me or lose me,

       G               G7       C 
It is this that the darkness is for."

          G                G7   Fadd9              C
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,

 G                  G7           Fadd9          C
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."

                          C7          F
"If we cry now, " she said, "it will just be ignored."

      C                   F     Dm
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning,

        C              F
I could hear my lady calling,

         G             G7         C
"You've won me, you've won me, my lord,

        G             G7         C
You've won me, you've won me, my lord,

             G             G7         C
Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,

            G              G7        C
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord,

            G              G7        C
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my lord."
