The Guests Leonard Cohen

Chords:

Em': x7605x

D': x5403x

Intro

Em'

Em' D'

One by one, The Guests arrive

C D'

The Guests are coming through

Em' D'

The open-hearted many

[C]The broken-hearted [E]few

And n[A]o one knows where the ni[D]ght is going

And n[A]o one knows why the w[D]ine is flowing

[C]O love, I [Dm/C]need y[C]ou, I [Dm/C]need y[C]ou, I [Dm/C]need y[C]ou, I [Dm/C]need y[C]ou

[E]Oh I need you n[A]ow

And those who dance begin to dance

And those who weep begin

And Welcome, Welcome cries a Voice,

Let all my guests come in

And no one knows where the night is going

And no one knows why the wine is flowing

O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

Oh I need you now

And all go stumbling through that house

In lonely secrecy

Saying, Do reveal yourself

Or, Why hast thou forsaken me

And no one knows where the night is going

And no one knows why the wine is flowing

O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

Oh I need you now

All at once the torches flare

The inner door flies open

One by one they enter there

In every style of passion

And no one knows where the night is going

And no one knows why the wine is flowing

O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

Oh I need you now

And here they take their sweet repast

While house and grounds dissolve

And one by one The Guests are cast

Beyond the garden walls

And no one knows where the night is going

And no one knows why the wine is flowing

O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

Oh I need you now

And those who dance begin to dance

Those who weep begin

And those who earnestly are lost

Are lost and lost again

And no one knows where the night is going

And no one knows why the wine is flowing

O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

Oh I need you now

One by one The Guests arrive

The Guests are coming through

The broken-hearted many

The open-hearted few

And no one knows where the night is going

And no one knows why the wine is flowing

O love, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

Oh I need you now
