  FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)

  

  

          Dm                             Am

  They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

         Dm                              Am

  For trying to change the system from within

         Dm                       Am

  I'm coming now I'm coming to reward   them

    G                  F  E                 Am

  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

  

         Dm                        Am

  I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

         Dm                         Am

  I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

         Dm                         Am

  I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

    G                  F  E                 Am

  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

  

      C                                G    F

  I'd really like to live beside you, baby

                C                             Am

  I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

           C                                       Am

  But you see that line there moving through the station

      G          F          E                      Am

  I told you I told you I told you I was one of those

  

         Dm                              Am

  You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win

       Dm                             Am

  You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline

       Dm                                Am

  How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin

    G                  F  E                 Am

  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

  

  Dm                                   Am

  I don't like your fashion business, mister

  Dm                                      Am

  I don't like these drugs that keep you thin

  Dm                                  Am

  I don't like what happened to your sister

    G                  F  E                 Am

  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin  (chorus)

  

         Dm                                Am

  And I thank you for those items that you sent me

      Dm                         Am

  The monkey and the plywood violin

      Dm                               Am

  I practiced every night and now I'm ready

    G                  F  E                 Am

  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

  

     Dm                            Am

  Remember me, I used to live for music

     Dm                                  Am

  Remember me, I brought your groceries in

         Dm                          Am

  It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded

    G                  F  E                 Am

  First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
