Take This Waltz Chords by Leonard Cohen

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Db] Now [Bb] in [B] Vienna there's ten [Abm] pretty women, _ _ _ [B] there's a shoulder [Gb] where death [Abm] comes to cry, _ _ _
[E] there's a lobby with nine hundred [Gb] windows, _ _ there's [E] a tree where the [B] dogs go to die,
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] _
[Ab] there's a [Abm] piece that was [Eb] torn [Abm]
from the morning _ [Eb] _ [Abm] and [Dbm] it hangs [Ab] in the gallery [Dbm] of frost,
_ _ _ [B] _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ take _ this [Eb] waltz, _ take [Abm] this waltz, _ take [Ebm] this [Db] waltz with the clamp on [E] its jaws, _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ [Gb] _ _ _ oh [B] I want you, [Ebm] I want you, [Abm] I want you _ on [B] a chair with a dead _
[Abm] magazine,
_ _ in [E] the cave at the tip of [Gb] the lily, _ _ in [E] some hallway where [B] love's never been,
_ [Eb] _ on [Abm] our bed where [Eb] the moon has been [Abm] sweating, _ [F] _ in [Dbm] a cry filled [Ab] with footsteps [Dbm] and sand,
_ _ _ [B] _
[E] I _ I [B] I I, _ take [Eb] this waltz, _ take [Gb] this [Ab] waltz, _ take [Dbm] it's broken waist in [F] your hand, _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Db] _ [G] _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _ [G]
[Abm] this waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this [Dbm] waltz, with its very own breath [Abm] of brandy and death, _
[Em] Dragging its tail in [B] the sea _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ There's [B] a concert hall in [Abm] Vienna
_ _ Where [B] your mouth [Ebm] had a thousand _
[Abm] reviews _ _ _
[E] There's a bar where the boys have [Gb] stopped talking
_ _ They've [E] been sentenced to [B] death by the blues
[Eb] _ Ah, [Abm] but who is it climbs to your picture _ _ _
[Dbm] With a garland [Ab] of freshly [Dbm] cut tears
_ _ [B] _
[E] Aye, _ _ [B] aye, aye, aye
_ Take [G] this waltz, _ take [Abm] this _ waltz
Take this [Dbm] waltz, it's been dying for [E] _ years _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[B] There's an attic [Ebm] where children [Abm] are played _ _
Where [B] I've got to lie down [Abm] with you soon _ _
[E] In a dream of _ _ [Gb] Hungarian _ _ lanterns
[E] In the midst of some sweet [B] afternoon
_ [Eb] And [Abm] I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
[F] _ _
[Dbm] All your sheep and your [Ab] lilies [Dbm] of snow
_ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] Aye, _ [Abm] aye, [B] aye, aye
_ Take [Eb] this _ waltz, take [Ab] this waltz
With its [Dbm] all, never _ forget you, [F] you know
_ _ This [B] _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ [G] _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _ [Eb] _
[Abm] _ waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
[Dbm]
With its very own breath [Abm] of brand-n-dare
[Em] Dragging its tail [B] in the sea _ _
With _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ you in [Abm] Vienna
_ _ I'll [B] be wearing [Ebm] a river's [Abm] _ disguise _ _
[E] The highest of wild on [Gb] my shoulder
_ My [E] mouth on the [B] dew of your thighs
_ And I'll bury my soul in [Abm] a _ scrapboad
With [B] the photographs there [Bb] _ [Gb] in the [Abm] moss
_ _ _ And [E] I'll yield to the flood of [Gb] your beauty _ _ _
[E] My cheek _ [B] violin [Dbm]
[B] in the cross
[G] _ And [Abm] you'll carry me down on your dancing
_ To [Dbm] the pools [Ab] that you lift on [Dbm] your wrist
_ _ [Abm] Oh my [E] _ love, _ [B] oh my love
_ Take [G] this [Eb] waltz, _ take [Abm] this waltz _ _
[Dbm] It's yours now, it's all [B] that [E] there is _ _ _ _
