It's okay if we play two more.
I know.
I lost [B]
[E]
my
[Em] grandfather.
[E]
I feel very fortunate because we knew that he was sick.
[B] So we got to this
[E] [F] [E]
one.
I didn't really get to do it.
[F#] So [B] if there's a silver lining, [Gm] that was it.
But I've been playing this [B] Leonard Cohen song.
[Em] Because it just kind of makes me think of him.
[Bm]
I don't know why it's so long ago.
But anyway, we've been playing this song for him.
It just sort of makes me think of him every day.

[B] [Bm]
Like a [B] worm of [F#] love.
[Bm]
Like a night so [E] fashionable.
[B] I'll sing [F#] all my rhythms all [B] for thee.
[E]
Falling [B] heavens,
[E]
[B] [E]
hope your legends fly [B] by.
[E]
If I
[B] had the [G#m] love of truth, [B]
[C#] hope you know it would never [B] be.
[F#]
[B] Like a baby still [A#] deep,
[B] like a beast in [E] his home.
I [B] am torn, everyone was wished up to me.
[E]
But I swear, this song, if I had [E] done love, I [B] would make [F#] it all up to [G#] thee.
[A#] [B] [E]
I saw a beggar living on a [B] wooden cross.
[E]
He reached out to me, he [B] said, why do you ask for so much?
[E]
[B] [E]
A pretty woman, [B] leaning in her [G#m] darkened door.
[C#m]
She called out to me, [G#m] said, why do you ask for just [E] a little more?

the [G#m]
[C#]
love of truth, I hope you know it was never [B] here.
[F#]
[B] Like a worm of [F#]
love.
[B] A drunk, a name is [E] like water.
[B] All the time, in [D#m] my own way, [B] to be free.
