FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)
Em Em They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom Em Em For trying to change the system from within Em Em I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them D G B Em First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin Em Em I'm guided by a signal in the heavens Em Em I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin Em Em I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons D G B Em First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin G D G I'd really like to live beside you, baby G Em I love your body and your spirit and your clothes G Em But you see that line there moving through the station D G B Em I told you I told you I told you I was one of those Em Em You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win Em Em You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline Em Em How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin D G B Em First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin Em Em I don't like your fashion business, mister Em Em I don't like these drugs that keep you thin Em Em I don't like what happened to your sister D G B Em First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus) Em Em And I thank you for those items that you sent me Em Em The monkey and the plywood violin Em Em I practiced every night and now I'm ready D G B Em First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin Em Em Remember me, I used to live for music Em Em Remember me, I brought your groceries in Em Em It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded D G B Em First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
