Chords for Leonard Cohen : "Closing Time"- Montréal International Jazz Fest

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] We're drinking and we're dancing and the band is really happening
[Em] And the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
And my [Bm] very sweet companion, she's the angel of compassion
She's [Em] rubbing half the world against her thigh
_ And every [C] drinker, every dancer lifts a happy face to thank her
The [G] fiddler fiddles [B] something so [Em] sublime
All [D] the women tear their blouses off and the men they dance on the polka dots
[C] It's partner found and it's partner lot
Hell to pay when the fiddler stops
[G] It's closing time, closing time, closing time, closing time
Yeah, [C] the women tear their blouses off and the men they dance on the polka dots
[G] It's partner found [B] and it's partner lot
[Em] It's hell to pay [C] when the fiddler stops _
_ [G] It's closing time _ _
_ [D] It's closing time _ _ _
Yeah, [G] we're lonely, we're romantic and the cider's laced with [Em] acid
And the holy spirit's crying, where's the thief? _
And [Bm] the moon is swimming naked and the summer night is fragrant
[Em] With a mighty expectation of relief _
So [C] we struggle and we stagger down the snakes and up the ladder
[G] To the tower where the blessed [Em] hours chime
_ [D] And I swear it happened just like this
A sigh, a cry, a hungry [C] kiss, the gates of love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened [G] since
Closing time, closing time, closing time, closing time
[C] Yeah, I swear it happened just like this
A sigh, a cry, a hungry [G] kiss, the gates of love they budged an inch
[Em] I can't say [C] much has happened since
I can't say much has happened since
Can't say much has happened [G] since
But closing time, _
_ _ _ [D] closing time _
_ [Em] I loved you for your beauty, but that doesn't make a fool of [Bm] me
Hey, you were in it for your beauty too
_ [Em] And I loved you for your body
There's a voice that sounds like God [A] to me
And I'm here declaring, declaring, declaring
Declaring, [D] declaring that your body's really me
_ [C] And I loved you when our love was blessed
And I love you now, there's nothing [G] left but sorrow and a sense of [Em] overtime
_ [D] And I miss you since the place got wrecked
And I just don't care what happens [C] next
Looks like freedom, but it feels like death
It's something in between, I [G] guess it's closing time _ _ _
_ [C] Yeah, I loved you since the place got wrecked
By the winds of change and the weeds of [G] sex
Looks like freedom, but it feels like [Em] death
It's something in [C] between, I guess _ _ [G] it's closing time
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [D]
Closing time
_ _ _ [G] Oh, we're drinking and we're dancing
But there's nothing really happening
[Em] And the place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
And [Bm] my very close companion gets me fumbling, gets me laughing
[Em] She's a hundred, but she's wearing something tight
_ [C] And I lift my glass to the awful truth
Which you can't reveal to the ears of [G] youth
Except to [B] say it isn't [Em] worth a dime
_ [D] And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
Once for the government, once for [C] Christ
But the boss don't like these dizzy heights
We're busted in the blind and [G] life's a closing time
_ _ _ Closing time
Yeah, [C] the whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the government, once for Christ
[G] But the boss don't like [B] these dizzy heights
[Em] We're busted [C] in the blind and _ _ _ _ life's _ [G] a closing _ time
_ _ [D] Alright, here we go
_ _ _ _ Yeah, [G] the women tear their blouses off
And the men, they dance on the polka dot
It's _ _ [A] closing time
_ [G] And his partner found his partner lost
And it's hell to pay when the business stops
It's _ _ closing time
_ [G] And I swear it happened just like this
A solid crime, a hungry [D] case
It's closing _ time
_ [G] And I gave some love-made pledges
I can't say much has happened [D] since
It's closing _ _ _ time
[G] And I loved you when our love was black
I love you now, there's nothing [D] left
It's _ _ closing time
[G] And I've lived since the place got black
By the winds of change and the waves of [D] sex
It's closing _ time
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
