Take this waltz - Leonard Cohen Tabbed by: joerg62 E-mail: j.lechthoff@gmx.de Tuning: Standard I have changed the key from "b" to "c", so it is easier to sing (who can sing as low as Leonhard Cohen?) and to play (so you don`t have these exhausting chords during the whole song) Intro/Bridge 3 C G4 G e|---3--3-|---3--3--|----3--3-|---3--3--|| B|---5--5-|---5--5--|----3--3-|---3--3--|| G|---5--5-|---5--5--|----5--5-|---4--4--|| 2x D|--------|---------|---------|---------|| A|-3------|-3-------|---------|---------|| E|--------|---------|--3------|-3-------|| Verse: C C Am C E7/h Am e|-------0--0--------|-----0--0--|----0---0------|-----0----0----|-----0---0-----|-----0----0---| B|-------1--1--------|-----1--1--|----1---1------|-----1----1----|-----0---0-----|-----1----1---| G|-------0--0--------|-----0--0--|----2---2------|-----0----0----|-----1---1-----|-----2----2---| D|-------------------|-----------|---------------|---------------|---------------|--------------| A|-----3-------------|--3--------|-0-------------|--3------------|--2------------|--0-----------| E|-------------------|-----------|---------------|---------------|---------------|--------------| Now in Vienna there`s ten pretty woman.There`s a shoulder where death comes to cry.

Now in ^CVienna there's ten pretty ^Amwomen There's a ^Cshoulder where ^E7death comes to ^Amcry There's a ^Flobby with nine hundred ^Gwindows There's a ^Ftree where the doves go to ^Cdie There's a ^Ampiece that was torn from the morning And it ^Dmhangs in the ^A7Gallery of ^DmFrost

Refrain 1:

^FAey, aey, aey, ^Caey Take this ^E7waltz, take this ^Amwaltz Dm7 F Bridge 1 Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Verse:

Oh I ^Cwant you, I ^E7want you, I ^Amwant you On a ^Cchair with a dead maga^Amzine In the ^Fcave at the tip of the ^Glily In some ^Fhallway where love's never ^Cbeen On a ^Ambed where the moon has been sweating In a ^Dmcry filled with ^A7footsteps and ^Dmsand

Refrain 2:

^FAey, aey, aey, ^Caey Take this ^E7waltz, take this ^Awaltz F6 G Bridge 2 Take its broken waist in your hand This ^Amwaltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz With its ^Dmvery own breath of ^Ambrandy and death F6 C Intro/Bridge 3 Dragging its tail in the sea

Verse: There's a concert hall in Vienna Where your mouth had a thousand reviews There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking They've been sentenced to death by the blues But who is it climbs to your picture With a garland of freshly cut tears? Refrain 1: Aey, aey, aey, aey Take this waltz, take this waltz Take this waltz it's been dying for years Verse: There's an attic where children are playing Where I've got to lie down with you soon In a dream of Hungarian lanterns In the mist of some sweet afternoon And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow All your sheep and your lilies of snow Refrain 2: Aey, aey, aey, aey Take this waltz, take this waltz With its, I'll never forget you, you know This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz With its very own breath of brandy and death Dragging its tail in the sea And I'll dance with you in Vienna I'll be wearing a river's disguise The hyacinth wild on my shoulder My mouth on the dew of your thighs And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook With the photographs there, and the moss

And I'll ^Fyield to the flood of your ^Gbeauty My ^Fcheap violin and my ^Ccross And you'll ^Amcarry me down on your dancing To the ^Dmpools that you ^A7lift on your ^Dmwrist
