Passing Through (written by R. Blakeslee - ar. L. Cohen) I've found the words in the lyric archive of ftp.uwp.edu in Dean Engelhards complete collection of Cohen songs. Here are the chords as closely I could finger them out. Hope that they are not to wrong . Adi.Heindl@chemie.uni-regensburg.de
I saw CJesus on the cross on a Fhill called Calvary "DoC you hate mankind for what they doGne to you'" He said, C"Talk of love not hate, thinFgs to do - it's getting late. I've so Clittle time and I'm Gonly passing tChrough."
CPassing through, passing through. Sometimes happy, sometimes C7blue, glad that FI ran into you. Tell the Cpeople that you Gsaw me passing tChrough.
I saw CAdam leave the Garden with an Fapple in his hand, I said C"Now you're out, what are you goinGg to do'" "Plant Csome crops and pray for rain, mFaybe raise a little cane. I'm an oCrphan now, and I'm Gonly passing tChrough."
Passing through, passing through ...
I was with CWashington at Valley Ford, Fshivering in the snow. I said, &Cquot;How come the men here suffer like Gthey do'" "Men Cwill suffer, men will fight, Feven die for what is right even tChough they know they're Gonly passing tChrough"
Passing through, passing through ...
I was with CFranklin Roosevelt's side on the Fnight before he died. He said, C"One world must come out of WorlGd War Two" (ah, the fool) "YanCkee, Russian, white or tan," heF said, "A man is still a man. We're all Con one road, and we're Gonly passing tChrough."
Passing through, passing through ... (let's do it one more time) Passing through, passing through ... The french songwriter Graeme Allwright sings also this songs. Here are the french lyrics. de passage J'ai vu J'sus sur la croix sur le mont Golgotha J'ai dit "En veux-tu aux hommes pour ce qu'ils t'ont fait" Il dit: "Parle d'amour et pas de haine Pour toute la race humaine J'ai si peu de temps je suis seulement de passage." De passage, de passage Triste, heureux, voyage, dancs ce monde en rage Dites-leur bien je suis seulement de passage. J'ai vu Adam quitter le jardin une pomme dans sa main J'ai dit: "Et maintenant qu'est-ce tu vas faire '" "Je travaillerai la terre, et je ferai des pri'res Je suis orphelin, je suis seulement de passage" De passage, de passage .. J'ai suivi Washington at Valley Forge, grelottant de froid J'ai dit: "Pourquoi les hommes souffrent tant ici'" "Pour une cause ils peuvent souffrir, sont m'me pr'ts ' mourir Meme s'ils savent qu'ils sont seulement de passage." De passage, de passage ..
