Verse 1
Night Comes (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) On
By Leonard (D major) Cohen
(G major) I went (D major) down to the place (G major)
where I (D major) knew she lay waiting (G major)
(D major) Under the marble (G major) and the snow (A major)
I said, (D major) Mother I'm frightened,
(G major) the (D major) thunder and the lightning (G major)
I'll (D major) never come (G major) through this alone (A major)
She (G major) said, I'll be with (C major) you,
my (G major) shawl wrapped around (C major) you
My (G major) hand on your (C major) head when you (G major) go
And the (D major) night came on, it was (A minor) very calm
I (F major) wanted the night to go (C major) on and on
But she (G major) said, (C major) go back,
(G major) go back to the world (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
We were (D major) fighting in Egypt (G major) when they
(D major) signed this agreement (G major)
(D major) That nobody (G major) else had to die (A major)
There was this (D major) terrible sound, (G major)
my (D major) father went down (G major)
With a (D major) terrible (G major) wound in his (A major) side
He said, (G major) try to go (C major) on,
take my (G major) books, take my (C major) gun
(G major) Re member, (C major) my son, (G major) how they lied
And the (D major) night comes on, (A major) it's very (A minor) calm
I'd (F major) like to pretend that my
(C major) father was wrong
But you (G major) don't want to (C major) lie,
(G major) not to the (D major) young (G major) (D major) (G major)
We were (D major) locked in this kitchen, (G major)
I (D major) took to religion (G major)
And I (D major) wondered how (G major) long she would (A major) stay
I (D major) needed so (G major) much to have noth
(D major) ing to touch (G major)
(D major) I've always been (G major) greedy that (A major) way (Asus4)
(A major) But my (G major) son and my (C major) daughter
climbed (G major) out of the (C major) wa ter
Crying, (G major) Papa, you (C major) promised to play (G major)
And they (D major) lead me away
to the (A minor) great surprise
It's (F major) Papa, don't peek, Papa,
(C major) cover your eyes
(G major) And they hide,
(C major) (G major) they hide in the (D major) world (G major) (D major) (G major)
Now I (D major) look for her al (G major) ways,
I'm (D major) lost in this calling
(G major) (B minor) (G major) I'm (D major) tied to the (G major) threads
of some (Asus4) pray er
Saying (D major) when will she sum (G major) mon me,
(D major) when will she come (G major) to me
(D major) What must I (G major) do to pre (A major) pare? (Asus4)
(A major) When she (G major) bends to my (C major) longing like a (G major) willow,
like a fountain (C major)
She (G major) stands in the (C major) lu minous (G major) air
And the night (D major) comes on,
it's (A major) very (F major) calm (A minor)
I lie (F major) in her arms and says (C major) when I'm gone
I'll be (G major) yours,
(C major) (G major) (Gsus4) (G major) yours for a (D major) song (G major) (D major) (G major)
Now the (D major) crickets are singing,
(G major) the (D major) vesper bells ringing (G major)
The (D major) cat's curled (G major) asleep in his (A major) chair
I'll go (D major) down to Bill's (G major) Bar,
I can (D major) make it that far (G major)
And I'll (D major) see if my (G major) friends are still (A major) there
Yes, and (G major) here's to the (C major) few,
who for (G major) give what you (C major) do
And the (G major) fewer who (C major) don't even (G major) care
And the (D major) night comes on, it's (A major) very (A minor) calm
I (F major) want to cross over,
I (C major) want to go home
(G major) But she says, (C major) Go back (G major) ,
(Gsus4) (G major) go back to the world (D major) (G major)
(D major) En d (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major)
