Lady Midnight - chords, tab and comments


Archetypal Cohen-song from his second album "Songs from a Room"(1969), containing all the usual ingredients: 3/4 time, catchy melody, depression and emotional conflicts wrapped in cryptic lyrics. No more, no less. I play it every now and then - on direct request, or if I need something simple to thaw my fingers. 
E            E7        D            A
I came by myself to a very crowded place
E                  E7              D            A
I was looking for someone who had lines in her face
    A7                         D
I found her there but she was passed all concern
   A          Bm7          C#m7 Bm
I asked her to hold me  I said "lady unfold me"
C#m7      A             D             E    E6                A
but she scorned me and told me I was dead and could never return
