A Singer Must Die Leonard Cohen
Now the courtroom is qui[Bb]et, but who will confes[Asus2]s?
Is it t[Bb]rue you betrayed us? The[Asus2] answer is "yes"
Then [Cmaj7]read me the list of the c[F]rimes that are mine
I will[Dsus2] ask for the mercy that you l[G]ove to decline
And all the l[C]adies go moist, and the j[E]udge has no choice
A s[Am]inger must die for the l[G]ie in his voice
And I t[Bb]hank you, I thank you for[Asus2] doing your duty
You k[Bb]eepers of truth, you [Asus2]guardians of beauty
Your[Cmaj7] vision is right, my v[F]ision is wrong
I'm [Dsus2]sorry for smudging the [G]air with my song
[C] [/] [E] [/] [Am] [/] [G]
Oh, the [Bb]night it is thick, my [Asus2]defences are hid
In the c[Bb]lothes of a woman I would[Asus2] like to forgive
In the[Cmaj7] rings of her silk, in the h[F]inge of her thighs
Where I[Dsus2] have to go begging in b[G]eauty's disguise
Oh good[C]night, goodnight, my n[E]ight after night
My [Am]night after night, after ni[G]ght, after night, after night
I am [Bb]so afraid that I[Asus2] listen to you
Your [Bb]sun glassed protectors they[Asus2] do that to you
It's their[Cmaj7] ways to detain, their w[F]ays to disgrace
Their [Dsus2]knee in your balls and their f[G]ist in your face
Yes and l[C]ong live the state by who[E]ever it's made
Sir, I [Am]didn't see nothing, I was j[G]ust getting home late
[Bb] [/] [Asus2] [/] [Bb] [/] [Asus2] [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [F] [/] [Dsus2] [/] [G] [/]
