Born in Chains Leonard Cohen
I was b[G]orn in c[Bm]hains but I [Em]was taken out of Egypt
I was b[G]ound to a[Bm] burden, bu[Em]t the burden it was r[D]aised
Oh L[C]ord, I can n[E]o longer keep this s[Am]ecret[F]
Blessed is the n[C]ame, [C#dim]the name be pr[Dsus4]aised [D]
I fled to the edge of a mighty sea of sorrow
Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime
But the waters parted and my soul crossed over
Out of Egypt, Out of Pharaoh's dream
Word of [B7]words and the measure of all m[Em]easures
Blessed is the n[B7]ame, the name be bl[Em]essed
[C]Written on my h[Cm]eart in burning l[G]etters[(Em)]
That's all I[Eb] know, I cannot read th[D]e rest
I was idle with my soul, when I heard that you could use me
I followed very closely, but my life remained the same
But then you showed me where you had been wounded
In every atom, broken is the name
I was alone on the road, your love was so confusing
And all the teachers told me that I had myself to blame
But in the arms of sensual illusion
A sweet unknowing, unified the name
Word of words, and measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
I've heard the soul unfold in the chambers of its longing
And the bitter liquor sweeten in the hammered cup
Ah but all the ladders of the night have fallen
Just darkness now, to lift the spirit up

[G] [Bm] [Em]
[G] [Bm] [Em] [D]
But [C]all the ladders [E]of the night have f[Am]allen[F]
Just darkness n[C]ow, t[C#dim]o lift the spir[Dsus4]it up [D]
Word of words, and measure of all measures
Blessed is the name, the name be blessed
Written on my heart in burning letters
That's all I know, I cannot read the rest
Cannot read the [G]rest
