First We Take Manhattan
Leonard Cohen
Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am

Am Am
They senDmtenced me to twenty years of Amboredom
For Dmtrying to change the system from Amwithin
I'm Dmcoming now I'm coming to Amreward them
GFirst we take ManFhattan, Ethen we take BerAmlin
I'm Dmguided by a signal in the Amheavens
I'm Dmguided by this birthmark on my Amskin
I'm Dmguided by the beauty of our Amweapons
GFirst we take ManFhattan, Ethen we take BerAmlin
I'd Creally like to live beside you, Gbaby
FI Glove your Cbody and your spirit and your Amclothes
But you Csee that line there moving through the Amstation
I Gtold you, I Ftold you, Etold you I was one of Amthose
You Dmloved me as a loser but now you're Amworried that I just might win
You Dmknow the way to stop me but you Amdon't have the discipline
How Dmmany nights I prayed for this: to Amlet my work begin
GFirst we take ManFhattan, Ethen we take BerAmlin
DmI don't like your fashion business, Ammister
DmI don't like these drugs that keep you Amthin
DmI don't like what happened to my Amsister
GFirst we take ManFhattan, Ethen we take BerAmlin
I'd Creally like to live beside you, Gbaby
FI Glove your Cbody and your spirit and your Amclothes
But you Csee that line there moving through the Amstation
I Gtold you, I Ftold you, Etold you I was one of Amthose
And I Dmthank you for those items that you Amsent me
The Dmmonkey and the plywood vioAmlin
I Dmpracticed every night now I'm Amready
GFirst we take ManFhattan, Ethen we take BerAmlinGFE
DmRemember me, I used to live for Ammusic
DmRemember me, I brought your groceries Amin
Well it's DmFather's Day and everybody's Amwounded
GFirst we take ManFhattan, Ethen we take BerAmlin
