  There are not many tabs out for Leonard Cohen songs, execpt

  from his two albums Songs of L.C. and Songs from a room.  So

  i'm interested in the way other people play his songs on the

  guitar.  Perhaps You are also interested and we can put our

  information together to work out some new tabs.  Here is a

  first proposal of "Take This Longing".  The chords are from

  his anthology songbook. Feel free to critize the lines and

  tell what can be done better.  Is this group the right place

  for such stuff or should i better stay at home?  Thank You

  very much for reading these lines and for any answer.
