Chords from "Songs of Leonard Cohen", Amsco, 1969

Like a (A)bird on the (E)wire
Like a (A)drunk in a midnight (D)choir
I have (A)tried in my (E)way to be free(Asus4)

Like a (A)worm on a (E)hook
Like a (A)knight from some old fashioned (D)book
I have (A)saved all my (E)ribbons for thee(Asus4)

(D)If I, if I have been un(A)kind
(Bm)I hope that you can just let it go (A)by
(D)If I, if I have been un(A)true
(Bm)I hope you know it was never to (E)you

The lyrics in Digitrad differ slightly from those in the book

(E)Suzanne takes you down
To the place by the river
You can (F#m)hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you (E)know that she's half crazy
And that's why you want to be there
And she (G#m)feeds you tea and oranges
That come (A)all the way from China
And just (E)when you mean to tell her
That you (F#m)have no love to give her
She (E)gets you on her wavelength
And she (F#m)lets the river answer
That you've (E)always been her lover

And you (G#m)want to travel with her
And you (A)want to travel blind
And you (E)know that she will trust her
For you've (F#m)touched her perfect body with your (E)mind

I gotta read better or more completely. I thought I was getting the chords to Twa Corbies.
