Leonard Cohen – Sing Another Song Boys (Ukulele)

        A          E                A    Asus4 A
Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken

D                          A    Asus4 A
His ships, they're all on fire

Bm
The moneylender's lovely little daughter

   A                                    Asus4 A
Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire

C#m                         F#m
She spies him through the glasses

          C#m      D              A    Asus4 A
From the pawnshops of her wicked father

C#m                   F#m
She hails him with a microphone

                C#m              D           A       Asus4 A
That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her

Bm                      A     Asus4 A
She tempts him with a clarinet

F#m               E
She waves a Nazi dagger

A              E          A    Asus4 A
She finds him lying in a heap

             E       A    Asus4 A
She wants to be his woman

D
He says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep

            A                                     Asus4 A
But kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open."

Bm
He stands where it is steep

       A                                          Asus4 A
Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one

C#m                        F#m
His hand upon his leather belt now

                  C#m       D            A    Asus4 A
Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner

C#m                             F#m
And she will learn to touch herself so well

            C#m        D       A    Asus4 A
As all the sails burn down like paper

Bm                   A    Asus4 A
And he has lit the chain

F#m                 E
Of his famous cigarillo

A                             E                  A    Asus4 A
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon

                  E              A    Asus4 A
At least not the one that we're after

Bm
It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends

         A
And it carries no survivors

C#m                           F#m
But let's leave these lovers wondering

      C#m        D       A    Asus4 A
Why they cannot have each other

C#m                     F#m
And let's sing another song, boys

              C#m   D       A    Asus4 A
This one has grown old and bitter

         Bm
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

A
La, la, la, la, la, la,...

Bm
La, la, la...

A
La...

Bm
