[Db]
Field Commander Cohn, he was [Ab] our most important [B]
spy.
[Gb] Wounded in the line of duty, [Ebm] parachuting acid,
[Db] in the diplomatic [Abm]
cocktail party,
[B] urging Fidel Castro to [Gb] abandon [Dbm] fields and castles,
[B] leave it all, and like a [Ebm] man, [B] come back to [Ebm] nothing special,
such [Bbm] as waiting rooms, ticket [Ebm] lines, silver bullet [Bbm] [Ebm] suicides,
messianic [Bbm] ocean tides, [Ebm] racial roller [Bbm] coaster rides,
[B] and other forms of boredom [Bb] advertised as poetry.
[F]
[Cm] I know you [Eb] need your sleep now, I know [Bb] your life's been hard,
[Cm] but many men have [Eb] fallen where you [Bb] promised to stand guard.
[Db] Never ask, but I heard that you cast your [Ab] love along with the [B] poor.
[Gb] How come I overheard your prayer, [Ebm] that you'd be this and nothing more than
[Db] just some [Abm] grateful, faithful woman, [B] favorite singing millionaire,
[Gb] the patron saint of [Dbm] envy and [B] the grocer of [Ebm] despair,
[F] working [Eb] for [F] the [Bb] Yankee dollar?
[Bbm]
[Bb] Drinking rum and Coca-Cola, go down poor [F] Kumara,
both mother and daughter, working [Gm] for [Cm] the [Bb] Yankee dollar.
[F]
[Cm] I know you need [Eb] your sleep now, I know [Bb] your life's been hard,
[Cm] but many men [Eb] have fallen where [Bb] you promised to stand guard.
[Db] Oh love, come and lie with me if my [Ab] lover is who you really [B] are,
[Gb]
and be your sweetest self at first, [Ebm]
till we conceive of deeper thirst,
[Db] then go to where [Abm] the selves are from, [B] and summon them and let them come,
[Gb] till love is pierced and [Dbm] love is hung, and [B]
every taste is on the tongue,
and every kind of [Ebm] freedom, down [Bbm] in oh my [Gb] love.
[Bbm]
Oh [Gb] my love.
[Bbm]
Oh [Gb] my [Ebm] love.
