A BUNCH OF LONESOME HEROES- Leonard Cohen
A Bm
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
E E7 A Asus4 A
Were smoking out along the open road
Bm
The night was very dark and thick between them
E E7 A Asus4 A
Each man beneath his ordinary load
CHORUS:
D Dmaj7 Bm D A Amaj7 Fm A
I`d like to tell my story
B E E7
Said one of them so young and bold
D Dmaj7 Bm D A Amaj7 Fm A
I`d like to tell my story
Fm E Esus4 E E7
Before I turn into gold
But no one really could hear him
The night so dark and thick and green
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there
Where you and I have only been
CHORUS 2:
Put out your cigarette, my love
You`ve been alone too long
And some of us are very hungry now
To hear what it is you`ve done that was so wrong
I sing this for the crickets
I sing this for the army
I sing this for your children
And for all who do not need me
CHORUS 3:
I`d like to tell my story
Said one of them so bold
Oh yes, I`d like to tell my story
`Cos you know I feel I`m turning into gold
