A Singer Must Die Chords by Leonard Cohen

A Singer Must Die chords by Leonard Cohen

Guitar chords with lyrics

Bb                     Asus2
Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess?
       Bb                      Asus2
Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is "yes"
     Cmaj7                    F
Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine
             Dsus2                        G
I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline
             C                        E
And all the ladies go moist, and the judge has no choice
   Am                      G
A singer must die for the lie in his voice


       Bb                       Asus2
And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty
     Bb                   Asus2
You keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty
    Cmaj7                 F
Your vision is right, my vision is wrong
    Dsus2                  G
I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song

        Bb                    Asus2
Oh, the night it is thick, my defences are hid
        Bb                       Asus2
In the clothes of a woman I would like to forgive
      Cmaj7                       F
In the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs
       Dsus2                   G
Where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise
       C                     E
Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night
   Am                         G
My night after night, after night, after night, after night


     Bb              Asus2
I am so afraid that I listen to you
     Bb                         Asus2
Your sun glassed protectors they do that to you
          Cmaj7                   F
It's their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace
      Dsus2                         G
Their knee in your balls and their fist in your face
         C                        E
Yes and long live the state by whoever it's made
       Am                         G
Sir, I didn't see nothing, I was just getting home late
