Waiting for the Miracle
Album: The Future
M&L: Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson
Note: when changing from Em to D in the verse progression, hammer on low E string 3rd fret to
play Em/G for half a measure. A G chord also works.
[[Ebdim: xx1212]]
Intro: Em
EmBaby, I've been waiting
DI've been waiting night and dEmay
I didn't see the time
DI waited half my lEmife away
There were lDots of invitations
And I know you sent me sEbdimome B7
But I was wEmaitingD
For the mCiraclDe, for the mEbdimiracle to come B7 Em
I know you really loved me
But, you see, my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you
It must have hurt your pride
To have to stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum
And me I'm up there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Ah I don't believe you'd like it
You wouldn't like it here
There ain't no entertainment
And the judgements are severe
The Maestro says it's Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
When you're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
WAmaiting for the miracle
There's nEmothing left to do
B7I haven't been this happy
Since the Emend of World War II
Nothing left to dAmo
When you know that you've been taken
Nothing left to dEmo
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to dCo
When you've got to go on waiting
WEbdimaiting for the miracle to coBme
Yeah I dreamed about you, baby
It was just the other night
Most of you was naked
Ah but some of you was light
The sands of time were falling
From your fingers and your thumb
And you were waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Ah baby, let's get married
We've been alone too long
Let's be alone together
Let's see if we're that strong
Yeah let's do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
While we're waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
Nothing left to do
When you know that you've been taken
Nothing left to do
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you've got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come
When you've fallen on the highway
And you're lying in the rain
And they ask you how you're doing
Of course you say you can't complain
If you're squeezed for information
That's when you've got to play it dumb
You just say you're out there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come
