Dress Rehearsal Rag - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
From his third album "Songs of Love and Hate", Leonard Cohen's darkest song ever. It is not only scented, but drenched with the flavour of wet soil, and is not recommended for suicidal people.
Bm C#m
four o'clock in the afternoon and I didn't feel like very much
Bm C#m
I said to myself "where are you golden boy where is your famous golden touch?
Bm C#m
I thought you knew where all of the elephants lie down?
Bm C#m
I thought you were the crown prince of all the wheels in Ivory Town?"
Bm Am
just take a look at your body now : there's nothing much to save
Bm Am
and a bitter voice in the mirror cries "hey prince, you need a shave"
Bm C#m
now if you can manage to get your trembling fingers to behave
Bm C#m
why don't you try unwrapping a stainless steel razor blade
Bm Am
that's right, it's come to this yes it's come to this
Bb D G Bb D G
and wasn't it a long way down? wasn't it a strange way down?
