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 end 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
