Slow Leonard Cohen
(VERSE 1)
[D]I'm slowing down the tune, I never liked it fast
You want to get there soon, I want to get there last
It's n[A]ot because I'm [Gm]old, It's n[A]ot the life I [Gm]led
I [A]always liked it [Gm]slow, That's what my [G]mom[F]ma [D]said
[D]I'm lacing up my shoe, But I don't want to run
I'll get there when I do, Don't need no startin' gun
It's n[A]ot because I'm [Gm]old, And it's n[A]ot what dying [Gm]does
I a[A]lways liked it [Gm]slow, Sl[G]ow is i[F]n my b[D]lood
(CHORUS 1)
I a[Bb]lways liked it s[F]low, I n[C]ever liked it f[F]ast
With y[Bb]ou it's got to g[F]o, With [C]me it's got to [A]last
It's [Gm]not because I'm o[A]ld, It's [Gm]not because I'm d[A]ead
I a[Gm]lways liked it s[A]low, That's what my [G]mom[F]ma [D]said
6 bars of D - improv if you can!
(VERSE 2)
[D]All your moves are swift, All your turns are tight
Let me catch my breath, I thought we had all night
I l[A]ike to take my [Gm]time, I like to l[A]inger as it [Gm]flies
A w[A]eekend on your l[Gm]ips, A lifetime [G]in y[F]our e[D]yes
(CHORUS 2)
I'm [Bb]slowing down the t[F]une, I n[C]ever liked it f[F]ast
You w[Bb]ant to get there s[F]oon, I w[C]ant to get there l[A]ast
It's [Gm]not because I'm o[A]ld, It's [Gm]not the life I l[A]ed
I [Gm]always liked it s[A]low, That's what my [G]mom[F]ma [D]said
(CHORUS 3)
I'm s[Bb]lowing down the t[F]une, I n[C]ever liked it f[F]ast
You w[Bb]ant to get there [F]soon, I [C]want to get there l[A]ast
So, b[Gm]aby, let me [A]go, You're w[Gm]anted back in t[A]own
In [Gm]case they want to k[A]now, I'm just t[G]rying to s[F]low it d[D]own
