Lady Midnight - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
Archetypical Cohen-song from his second album "Songs from a Room"(1969), containing all the usual ingredients: 6/8 rythm, 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
