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?
