LADY MIDNIGHT  (Leonard Cohen)
 
 
INTRO: C
 
 
  G          G7        F            C 
I came by myself to a very crowded place
G                   G7              F           C
 I was looking for someone who had lines in her face
                  C7              F  
I found her there    but she was past all concern
   C             F    Dm    
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me,"
         C              F             G   G7                     C
But she scorned me and told me I was dead   and I would never return


         G          G7        F            C
Well, I argued all night like so many have before
      G               G7                 F           C  
Saying, "Whatever you give me I seem to need so much more".
                      C7           F
Then she pointed at me   where I kneeled on her floor
            C           F     Dm  
She said, "Don't try to use me   or slyly refuse me
C                F              G             G7          C 
 Just win me or lose me, it is this that the darkness is for."


        G              G7      F                  C
I cried, "Oh Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old,
G               G7             F             C
 Stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
                          C7        F 
"If we cry now," she said,  "It will just be ignored."
      C                  F      Dm
So I walked through the morning    the sweet early morning
         C            F               F             G7          C 
I could hear my lady calling "You've won me, you've won me, my lord."
        G             G7          C       F  C  G  C
You've won me, you've won me, my lord."
