Come Healing Leonard Cohen
O ga[F]ther[Bbm] up the [F]brokenness
[Bb]Bring it to me n[F]ow
The [C]fragrance of those p[F/C]romi[C]ses
You [Bb]never dared to v[C]ow
The [Dm]splinters that you c[Bb]arry
The [F]cross you left b[C]ehind
Come[Gm] healing[/A] of the [Bb]body
Come[C] healing[/E] of the [F]mind
And [Gm]let the heavens [F/A]hear it
The [C]peni[F/C]tential [C]hymn
Come[Gm] healing[/A] of the [Bb]spirit
Come[C] healing[(/E)] of the limb[F]
Behold the gates of mercy
in arbitrary space
And none of us deserving
the cruelty or the grace
O solitude of longing
where love has been confined
Come healing of the body
Come healing of the mind
O see the darkness healing
that tore the light apart
Come healing of the reason
Come healing of the heart
(next two verses follow the same chord progression
as the first two verses, no third verse chord
progression here)
Oh troubled dust concealing
an undivided love
The Heart beneath is teaching to
the broken Heart above
Let the heavens falter
Let the earth proclaim
Come healing of the Altar
Come healing of the Name
(next three verses follow (almost) the same chord
progression as the first three verses)
O longing of the branches
to lift the little bud
O longing of the arteries
to purify the blood
And let the heavens hear it
The penitential hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
O let the heavens hear it
The [C]peni[F/C]tential [Edim]hymn
Come healing of the spirit
Come healing of the limb
