Sing Another Song, Boys
Leonard Cohen
Standard Tuning, No Capo
<Spoken: Let's sing another song, boys, this one has grown old and bitter>
Intro: G
Ah, his Gfingernails, I Csee theGy're broken
CHis ships: they're all on fGire
AmThe moneylender's lovely little daughter
Ah,G she's eaten, she's eaCtenG with desire
DShe spies him through the glEmasses
From the paDwnshops of heCr wicked faGther
DShe hails him with a mEmicrophone
That some poor siDnger-just likeC me-had to lGeave her
AmShe tempts him with a clGarinet
EmShe waves a Nazi Ddagger
GShe fCindGs him lying in a heap
GShe wCantGs to be his woman
CHe says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep
But kinGdly leave, leave the future,C leGave it open."
AmHe stands where it is steep
Oh I Gguess he thinks that he's theC veGry first one
DHis hand upon his leatherEm belt now
Like it was thDe wheel of some bCig ocean liGner
DAnd she will learn to touch hersEmelf so well
As all the sDails burn dCown like pGaper
AmAnd he has lit the chGain
EmOf his famous cigaDrillo
GAh, they'll never, they'll never eveCr reach the Gmoon
GAt leasCt nGot the one that we're after
AmIt's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends
And it caGrriCes nGo survivors
DBut let's leave these lovers wEmondering
Why thDey cannot haCve each otGher
DAnd let's sing another songEm, boys
This one has Dgrown Cold and biGtter
