On The Level, from Leonard Cohen. Album You Want It Darker.
So he plays it on the piano and adds stuff up, but at least this is the structure and the chords so you can
build up from there.
NB : some chords might be slightly misplaced (one or two syllabes off), I apologize for that.
[Verse 1]
EbI knew that it was wrong
I Ebdidn't have a doubt
I was Ebdying to get back hAbome
And you were starting oEbut
I said I'd best be Ebmoving on
EbYou said we have all day
You smiled at me like IAb was young
It took my breath Ebaway
[Bridge]
Your Cmcrazy fragrance all around
Your Ebsecrets all in view
My Cmlost, my lost was saying found
My Bbdon't was saying do
[Chorus]
Let's Ebkeep it on the level
When I Ebwalked away from you
I Ebturned my back on the devil
TEburned my back on the anAbgel, too Eb
They oughta give my Bbheart a medal
For Bbletting go of you
When I Abturned my back on the devil
AbTurned my back on the Ebangel, too
[Verse 2]
Now I'mEb living in this temple
Where they Ebtell you what to do
I'm old and I've had to Absettle
On a different poEbint of view
I was fightEbing with temptation
But I didn'Ebt want to win
A mEban like me don't Ablike to see
TemptEbation caving in
[Bridge]
Your Cmcrazy fragrance all around
Your Ebsecrets all in view
My Cmlost, my lost was saying found
My Bbdon't was saying do
[Chorus]
Let's keepEb it on the level
When I Ebwalked away from you
I Ebturned my back on the devil
TEburned my back on the anAbgel, too Eb
They oughta give my Bbheart a medal
For Bbletting go of you
When I Abturned my back on the devil
AbTurned my back on the Ebangel, too
They oughta give my Bbheart a medal
For Bbletting go of you
When I Abturned my back on the devil
AbTurned my back on the Ebangel, too
