I changed the key from the other version that was up and I fixed a few of the chords. Democracy by Leonard Cohen C# F# G# It's coming through a hole in the air, C# G# C# from those nights in Tiananmen Square. F# It's coming from the feel B F# that this ain't exactly real, C# G# C# or it's real, but it ain't exactly there. F From the wars against disorder, A#m from the sirens night and day, F from the fires of the homeless, A#m from the ashes of the gay: G# F# C# Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. C# F# G# It's coming through a crack in the wall; C# G# C# on a visionary flood of alcohol; F# from the staggering account B F# of the Sermon on the Mount C# G# C# which I don't pretend to understand at all. F It's coming from the silence A#m on the dock of the bay, F from the brave, the bold, the battered A#m heart of Chevrolet: G# F# C# Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. C# F# G# It's coming from the sorrow in the street, C# G# C# the holy places where the races meet; F# from the homicidal bitchin' B F# that goes down in every kitchen C# G# C# to determine who will serve and who will eat. F From the wells of disappointment A#m where the women kneel to pray F for the grace of God in the desert here A#m and the desert far away: G# F# C# Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/l/leonard-cohen/264543.html ] G# F# Sail on, sail on C# O mighty Ship of State! G# To the Shores of Need F# Past the Reefs of Greed C# Through the Squalls of Hate G# F# C# Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on. C# F# G# It's coming to America first, C# G# C# the cradle of the best and of the worst. F# It's here they got the range B F# and the machinery for change C# G# C# and it's here they got the spiritual thirst. F It's here the family's broken A#m and it's here the lonely say F that the heart has got to open A#m in a fundamental way: G# F# C# Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. C# F# G# It's coming from the women and the men. C# G# C# O baby, we'll be making love again. F# We'll be going down so deep B F# the river's going to weep, C# G# C# and the mountain's going to shout, "Amen!" F It's coming like the tidal flood A#m beneath the lunar sway, F imperial, mysterious, A#m in amorous array: G# F# C# Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. G# F# Sail on, sail on C# O mighty Ship of State! G# To the Shores of Need F# Past the Reefs of Greed C# Through the Squalls of Hate G# F# C# Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on. C# F# G# I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean C# G# C# I love the country but I can't stand the scene. F# And I'm neither left or right B F# I'm just staying home tonight, C# G# C# getting lost in that hopeless little screen. F But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags A#m that time cannot decay, F I'm junk but I'm still holding up A#m this little wild bouquet: G# F# C# Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. |
