Everybody Knows - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
From 1978 Album "I'm Your Man", Sharon Robinson contributed writing this. Bitter truth, and one of Cohen's songs it's not hard to understand. Still not a song for spirited parties ... maybe for the follow-on party, or rather the hangover day.
Em
everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Am C Em
everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Em
everybody knows that the war is over
Am C Em
everybody knows the good guys lost
G
everybody knows the fight was fixed
Am C Em
the poor stay poor and the rich get rich
A B Em
that's how it goes everybody knows
G D
everybody knows...everybody knows
Em B
that's how it goes
Em
everybody knows
