Lady Midnight Chords

(ver. 1)
Leonard Cohen
[Intro] 
C x4


[Verse 1]
G                     F             C
I came by myself to a very crowded place;
G                                 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         Dm
I asked her to hold me, I said, "Lady, unfold me,"
        Am                 F
But she scorned me and she told me
G                                  C
I was dead and I could never return


[Verse 2]
G                             F                  C
Well, I argued all night like so many have before
G                            F                        C
Saying, "Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more."
C                              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
      Am         F
Just win me or lose me
G                                    C
It is this that the darkness is for."


[Verse 3]
G                           F                        C
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old
G                         F                       C
The stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold."
C                           F
"If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
C                      F          Dm
So I walked through the morning, sweet early morning
     Am                 F
I could hear my lady calling
         G                            C
"You've won me, you've won me, my Lord
        G                            C
You've won me, you've won me, my Lord
            G                          C
Yes, you've won me, you've won me, my Lord
            G                          C
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my Lord
            G                          C
Ah, you've won me, you've won me, my Lord."
