Leonard Cohen - Take this waltz

Now in Vi^Benna there's ten pretty w^G#momen There's a ^Bshoulder where D^D#m/A#eath comes to cr^G#my There's a ^Elobby with nine hundred w^F#indows There's a ^Etree where the d^Eoves ^D#mgo t^C#mo di^Be ^D#7/A# There's a p^G#miece that was torn from the morning C#m G#7 C#m . . |. . B/D# | And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost ^EAy,^B/D# Ay, ^C#mAy, ^BAy Take this w^D#7/Galtz, take this w^G#maltz C#/F E . . |. . . | Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Oh I w^Bant you, I w^D#m/A#ant you, I wa^G#mnt you On a ch^Bair with a dead magaz^G#mine In the c^Eave at the tip of the l^F#ily In some h^Eallways where l^Eove'^D#ms ne^C#mver b^Been ^D#7/A# On a ^G#mbed where the moon has been sweating C#m G#7 C#m . . |. . B/D# | In a cry filled with footsteps and sand ^EAy,^B/D# Ay, ^C#mAy, ^BAy Take this w^D#7/Galtz, take this w^G#7/F#altz E6 Fm7-5 . . |. . . | Take its broken waist in your hand

This w^G#maltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz With its v^C#mery own breath of b^G#mrandy and Death E6 B . . |. . . |F#sus4 . . |F# . . | Dragging its tail in the sea

There's a c^Boncert hall in Vi^G#menna Where your ^Bmouth had a th^D#m/A#ousand rev^G#miews There's a b^Ear where the boys have stopped t^F#alking They've been s^Eentenced to dea^Eth ^D#mby t^C#mhe bl^Bues ^D#7/A# Ah, but ^G#mwho is it climbs to your picture C#m G#7 C#m . . |. . B/D# | With a garland of freshly cut tears? ^EAy,^B/D# Ay, ^C#mAy, ^BAy Take this w^D#7/Galtz, take this w^G#maltz C#m E . . |. . . | Take this waltz it's been dying for years

There's an a^Bttic where ch^D#m/A#ildren are pla^G#mying Where I've g^Bot to lie down with you s^G#moon In a d^Eream of Hungarian la^F#nterns In the m^Eist of some sw^Eee^D#mt af^C#mtern^Boon ^D#7/A# And I'll ^G#msee what you've chained to your sorrow C#m G#7 C#m . . |. . B/D# | All your sheep and your lilies of snow ^EAy,^B/D# Ay, ^C#mAy, ^BAy Take this w^D#7/Galtz, take this w^G#7/F#altz E6 Fm7-5 . . |. . . | With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"

This w^G#maltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz With its v^C#mery own breath of b^G#mrandy and Death E6 B . . |. . . |F#sus4 . . |F# . . | Dragging its tail in the sea

And I'll d^Bance with you in Vi^G#menna I'll be we^Baring a r^D#m/A#iver's disg^G#muise The hy^Eacinth wild on my sh^F#oulder My mo^Euth on the d^Eew ^D#mof y^C#mour th^Bighs And I'll b^Bury my soul in a sc^G#mrapbook With the ph^Botographs there^D#m/A#, and the m^G#moss And I'll y^Eield to the flood of your b^F#eauty My ch^Eeap viol^Ein ^D#mand ^C#mmy cr^Boss ^D#7/A# And you'll c^G#marry me down on your dancing To the p^C#mools that you l^G#7ift on your wr^C#mist ^C#mOh m^B/D#y lov^Ee, ^B/D#Oh my^C#m lov^Be Take this w^D#7/Galtz, take this w^G#maltz C#m E . . |. . . | It's yours now, it's all that there is
