First we take Manhattan  Leonard Cohen



       [Em]      [Em]                        
They s[Am]entenced me to twenty years of [Em]boredom
For tr[Am]ying to change the system from wit[Em]hin
I'm c[Am]oming now, I'm coming to re[Em]ward them
F[D]irst we take Man[C]hattan[B], then we take Ber[Em]lin
I'm g[Am]uided by a signal in the [Em]heavens
I'm g[Am]uided by this birthmark on my s[Em]kin
I'm g[Am]uided by the beauty of our [Em]weapons
F[D]irst we take Man[C]hattan[B], then we take Ber[Em]lin
I'd r[G]eally like to live beside you, b[D]aby [C]
I love your b[G]ody and your spirit and your cl[Em]othes
But you s[G]ee that line there moving through the st[Em]ation?
I t[D]old you, I [C]told you, I [B]told you, I was one of t[Em]hose
Ah you l[Am]oved me as a loser, but now you're [Em]worried that I just might win
You know the w[Am]ay to stop me, but you [Em]don't have the discipline
How m[Am]any nights I prayed for this, to [Em]let my work begin
F[D]irst we take Man[C]hattan[B], then we take Ber[Em]lin
[Am]I don't like your fashion business, [Em]mister
And [Am]I don't like these drugs that keep you t[Em]hin
[Am]I don't like what happened to my [Em]sister
F[D]irst we take Man[C]hattan[B], then we take Ber[Em]lin
I'd r[G]eally like to live beside you, b[D]aby [C]
I love your b[G]ody and your spirit and your cl[Em]othes
But you s[G]ee that line there moving through the st[Em]ation?
I t[D]old you, I [C]told you, I [B]told you, I was one of t[Em]hose
And I th[Am]ank you for those items that you [Em]sent me
The m[Am]onkey and the plywood vio[Em]lin
I pr[Am]acticed every night and now I'm [Em]ready
F[D]irst we take Man[C]hattan[B], then we take Ber[Em]lin    [D]      [C]       [C]
Ah rem[Am]ember me, I used to live for [Em]music
Rem[Am]ember me, I brought your groceries[Em] in
Well it's F[Am]ather's Day and everybody's [Em]wounded
F[D]irst we take Man[C]hattan[B], then we take Ber[Em]lin
