Song of Bernadette  by Leonard Cohen


C majorC     G+G        FF     FF      G+G     C majorC
There was a child Named Bernadette, I heard the story long ago
C majorC       G+G       FF         G+G      C majorC
She saw the queen of heaven once and kept the vision in her soul
C7C7               FF   D MajorD               G+G
No one believed what she had seen, no one believed what she had heard
C majorC         G+G      FF      Dm7Dm7  G+G       C majorC
That there were sorrows to be healed and mercy, mercy in this world.


     FF             A minorAm
So many hearts I find, Broke like yours and mine
FF          Dm7Dm7       G7G7
Torn by what we've done and can't undo.
C majorC        G+G    FF          A minorAm
I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you
FF  G+G        C majorC
Like Bernadette would do.

C majorC       G+G        FF     FF  G+G       C majorC
We've been around we fall, we fly. We mostly fall we mostly run.
C majorC     G+G       FF     FF     G+G       C majorC
And every now and then we try, to mend the damage that we've done.
C7C7            FF   D MajorD              G+G
Tonight, tonight I cannot rest. I've got this joy here inside my breast.
C majorC       G+G      FF   Dm7Dm7       G+G     C majorC
To think that I did not forget, that child, that song of Bernadette.


Repeat chorus

C majorC        G+G    FF       A minorAm   FF    G+G        C majorC
I just want to hold you, come on let me hold you, like Bernadette would do.
