Teachers chords by Leonard Cohen
Verse 1
C
[Dedicated to A. M. Klein
(1909- 1972)]
Verse 2
C
Hurt once and for all into silence.
Eb
C
A long pain ending without
a song to prove it.
Dm
F
Who could stand beside you
so close to Eden,
Dm
C
When you glinted in every
eye the held- high
F
Razor, shivering every ram
C
and son?
And now the silent loony bin,
where
The shadows live in the rafters like
F
Day- weary bats,
Dm
C
F
Until the turning mind, a radar signal,
C
Lures them to exaggerate
Bb
C
G
Mountain- size on the white stone wall
C
Your tiny limp.
Dm
F
How can I leave you in such a house?
Dm
F
Are there no more saint
Dm
s and wiz ards
To praise their ways with pupils,
C
No more evil to stun with the slap
G
Of a wet red tongue?
Did you confuse the
C
G
Messiah in a mirror
C
And rest because he had finally come?
F
Let me cry Help beside you, Teacher.
Dm
F
I have entered under this dark roof
C
As fearlessly as an honoured son
G
C
Enters his father's house.
