One of Us Cannot Be Wrong - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
This song rounds up Cohen's 1967 debut album "Songs of Leonard Cohen", and still today, posthumously, people wonder what fungus he'd been eating before writing this. Himself he told the crowd on Isle of Wight in 1970, that he'd written it in a peeling room in the Chelsea Hotel when he was coming off amphetamine and pursuing a blond lady he'd met in a Nazi poster ...
G Am C G
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
G Am
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
C D
they heard that my body was free
Em Bm
then I took the dust from a long sleepless night
C G
and I put it in your little shoe
Am F
and then I confess that I tortured the dress
C Em Dm ...G
that you wore for the world to look through
