A Bunch Of Lonesome Heroes chords by Leonard Cohen

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
 A                                            Bm
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes

 E                   E7                A     Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A
Were smoking out along the open road;

 A                                      Bm          Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm
The night was very dark and thick between them,

 E             E7                    A     Asus4       A   Asus2       A
Each man beneath his ordinary load.


Chorus:
 D                       A       A/G#
"I'd like to tell my story, "
 B                                E      E7
Said one of them so young and bold,

 D                       A       A/G#
"I'd like to tell my story,

 F#m                     E       E7
Before I turn into gold."


Verse 2:
 A                          Bm         Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm
But no one really could hear him,

 E              E7                     A     Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A
The night so dark and thick and green;

 A                                             Bm         Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there

 E                E7             A     Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A
Where you and I have only been.


Chorus:
 D                         A         A/G#
Put out your cigarette, my love,

 B                        E      E7
You've been alone too long;

 D                           A         A/G#
And some of us are very hungry now

    F#m                                          E   Esus4       E   E7
To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong.


Verse 3:
 A                       Bm       Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm
I sing this for the crickets,

 E            E7           A      Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A
I sing this for the army,

 A                       Bm         Bm/A      Bm    Bm/A      Bm
I sing this for your children

 E            E7                  A    Asus4       A   Asus2       A   Asus2       A
And for all who do not need me.


Chorus:
   D                      A         A/G#
"I'd like to tell my story, "

 B                       E    E7
Said one of them so bold,

  D                               A     A/G#
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story

   F#m                                        E       E7
'Cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold."
