LADY MIDNIGHT LEONARD COHEN
C G7 F C
I came by myself to a very crowded place
G7 F C
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face
C F
I found her there but she was past all concern
C F
I asked her to hold me, said 'lady unfold me'
C F
But she scorned me and she told me
G7 C
I was dead, and I could never return
I argued all night, like so many have before
Saying, whatever you give me, seem to need so much more
Then she pointed at me, where I leaned on her door
She said 'don't try to use me, or slyly refuse me
Just win me or lose me, it is this that the darkness is for'
I cried 'Oh Lady Midnight, I fear you grow old
Stars eat your body and the night makes you cold'
'If we cry now' she said 'It will just be ignored'
So I walked thru the morning, sweet early morning
I could hear my Lady calling,
You've won me, you've won me, my lord
Yes you've won me, you've won me, my lord
