Night Comes On (Leonard Cohen)
[3/4 time]
D G D / D G D /
[D] [G] [D]
I went down to the place where I knew she lay waiting
[G] [A]
Under the marble and the snow
[D] [G] [D]
I said Mother I'm frightened the thunder and the lightning
[G] [A]
I'll never come through this alone
[G] [C] [G] [C]
She said I'll be with you my shawl wrapped around you
[G] [C] [G]
My hand on your head when you go
[D] [Am] [F] [C]
And the night came on it was very calm, I wanted the night to go on and on
[G] [D] [G] [D] /
But she said go back, go back to the world
[D] [G] [D]
We were fighting in Egypt when they signed this agreement
[G] [A]
That nobody else had to die
[D] [G] [D]
There was this terrible sound and my father went down
[G] [A]
With a terrible wound in his side
[G] [C] [G] [C]
He said try to go on take my books take my gun
[G] [C] [G]
Remember my son how they lied
[D] [Am]
And the night comes on it's very calm
F C
I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong
[G] [D] [G] [D] /
But you don't want to lie, not to the young
[D] [G] [D]
We were locked in this kitchen I took to religion
[G] [A]
And I wondered how long she would stay
[D] [G] [D] [G] [A]
I needed so much to have nothing to touch, I've always been greedy that way
[G] [C] [G] [C]
But my son and my daughter climbed out of the water
[G] [C] [G]
Crying Papa you promised to play
[D] [Am]
And they lead me away to the great surprise
F C
It's Papa don't peek, Papa cover your eyes
[G] [D] [G] [D] /
And they hide, they hide in the world
[D] [G] [D]
Now I look for her always I'm lost in this calling
[G] [A]
I'm tied to the threads of some prayer
[D] [G] [D]
Saying when will she summon me when will she come to me
[G] [A]
What must I do to prepare
[G] [C] [G] [C]
When she bends to my longing like a willow like a fountain
[G] [C] [G]
She stands in the luminous air
[D] [Am]
And the night comes on it's very calm
F C
I lie in her arms, she says when I'm gone
[G] [D] [G] [D] /
I'll be yours, yours for a song
[D] [G] [D]
Now the crickets are singing, the vesper bells ringing
[G] [A]
The cat's curled asleep in his chair
[D] [G] [D]
I'll go down to Bill's Bar, I can make it that far
[G] [A]
And I'll see if my friends are still there
[G] [C] [G] [C]
Yes and here's to the few who forgive what you do
[G] [C] [G]
And the fewer who don't even care
[D] [Am]
And the night comes on, it's very calm
F C
I want to cross over I want to go home
[G] [D] [G] [D] /
But she says go back, go back to the world
[G] / / / / / / / [D] [G] [D] / [D] [G] [D]
