Leonard Cohen – The Letters (Guitar)

     Gm                 D7sus4   D7
You never liked to get

     Gm                   Dm7   D/A
The letters that I sent

     Gm                      D7sus4   D7
But now you've got the gist

            D#maj7         D7sus4  D
Of what my letters meant

        Gm                  D7sus4   D7
You're reading them again,

    Gm                     Dm7   D/A
The ones you didn't burn

      Gm                      D7sus4   D7
You press them to your lips,

         D#maj7     D7sus4  D
My pages of concern 

Cm7                     Gm
I said there'd been a flood 

Cm7                     Gm
I said there's nothing left 

F                        D#
I hoped that you would come 

                  D
I gave you my address 

       G#m              D#7sus4   D#7
Your story was so long,

      G#m                 D#m7   D#/A#
The plot was so intense,

G#m                         D#7sus4   D#7
It took you years to cross

              Emaj7       D#7sus4  D#
The lines of self-defense 

G#m                        D#7sus4   D#7
The wounded forms appear:

     G#m                    D#m7   D#/A#
The loss, the full extent;

G#m                     D#7sus4   D#7
And simple kindness here,

         Emaj7            D#7sus4  D#
The solitude of strength 

C#m7                    G#m
I said there'd been a flood 

C#m7                    G#m
I said there's nothing left 

F#                       E
I hoped that you would come 

                  D#7sus4  D#
I gave you my address 

     Gm                 D7sus4   D7
You walk into my room 

      Gm                    Dm7   D/A
You stand there at my desk,

  Gm                 D7sus4   D7
Begin your letter to

               Gm          Dm7   D/A
The one who's coming next 

    D#               D7
(Begin your letter to)

D#maj7  D7                        Gm
(Oooooooo    the one who's coming next)
