First We`ll Take Manhattan chords by Leonard Cohen

Em                 Am     Em
	sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

   Am                 Em
For trying to change the system from within

   Am               Em
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them

 D        C      B       Em
First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin.


I'm guided by the signal in the heaven
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First...

Ref:
   G                 D
I'd really like to live beside you, baby

 C       G                Em
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

     G                    Em
But you see that line there moving trough the station?

  D       C       B            Em
I told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those.


     Am                   Em
Ah, you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win

        Am             Em
You knouw the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline

   Am                 Em
How many nights I prayed for this to let my work begin

 D        C      B       Em
First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin



I don't like your fashion business, mister,
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First...

Ref: I'd really...

And thank you for those items that you send me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practice every night and now I'm ready
First...

I remember I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought you groceries in
Well, it's Father's Day, and everybody's wounded
First...
