Sing Another Song, Boys
Leonard Cohen
Standard Tuning, No Capo
Intro: G
G C G
Ah, his fingernails, I see they're broken
C G
His ships: they're all on fire
Am
The moneylender's lovely little daughter
G C G
Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire
D Em
She spies him through the glasses
D C G
From the pawnshops of her wicked father
D Em
She hails him with a microphone
D C G
That some poor singer-just like me-had to leave her
Am G
She tempts him with a clarinet
Em D
She waves a Nazi dagger
G C G
She finds him lying in a heap
G C G
She wants to be his woman
C
He says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep
G C G
But kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open."
Am
He stands where it is steep
G C G
Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one
D Em
His hand upon his leather belt now
D C G
Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner
D Em
And she will learn to touch herself so well
D C G
As all the sails burn down like paper
Am G
And he has lit the chain
Em D
Of his famous cigarillo
G C G
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon
G C G
At least not the one that we're after
Am
It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends
G C G
And it carries no survivors
D Em
But let's leave these lovers wondering
D C G
Why they cannot have each other
D Em
And let's sing another song, boys
D C G
This one has grown old and bitter
Am
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
G >REPEAT
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
