The Butcher  Leonard Cohen

Chords:
B7: x21202
Intro
[E]  
[E]I came upon a butcher
He w[A]as slaughtering a lamb
[E]I accused him there
With his[B7] tortured lamb
He said, "L[E]isten to me, child
[A]I am what I am
[E]And you, [B7]you are my only s[A]on "[E]
Well, I found a silver needle
I put it into my arm
It did some good
Did some harm
But the nights were cold
And it almost kept me warm
How come the night is long?
I saw some flowers growing up
Where that lamb fell down
Was I supposed to praise my Lord
Make some kind of joyful sound?
He said, "Listen, listen to me now
I go round and round
And you, you are my only child "
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I'm broken down
From a recent fall
Blood upon my body
And ice upon my soul
Lead on, my son, it is your world
