TITLE: Stories of the Street
ARTIST: Leonard Cohen
ALBUM: Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967)
Intro: Am  
The stAmories of the strCeet are mine, the SpEm7anish voices lBmaugh
AmThe Cadillacs go crCeeping now through the nEm7ight and the poison Bmgas
And AmI lean from my wFindow sill in this Gold hotF#el I chBose
Yes Eone hand on my sAuicide, Eone hand on the rDoseA  Am  
I Amknow you've heard it's oCver now and wEm7ar must surely Bmcome
The cAmities they are Cbroke in half and the Emmiddle men are Bmgone
But Amlet me ask you Fone more time, o Gchildren F#of the Bdusk
All these Ehunters who are Ashrieking now oh dEo they speak for Dus?A  Am  
And whAmere do all these hCighways go, now that Em7we are Bmfree?
Why Amare the armies Cmarching still that were Em7coming home to Bmme?
O lAmady with your leFgs so fine, o Gstranger aF#t your Bwheel
You are lEocked into your Asuffering and your pEleasures are the DsealA  Am  
The Amage of lust is Cgiving birth, and Em7both the parents Bmask
The Amnurse to tell them Cfairy tales on Em7both sides of the gBmlass
And Amnow the infant wFith his cord is Ghauled in F#like a Bkite
And Eone eye filled with bAlueprints, oEne eye filled with DnightA  Am  
O Amcome with me my Clittle one, Em7we will find that Bmfarm
And Amgrow us grass and aCpples there and Em7keep all the animals Bmwarm
And Amif by chance I Fwake at night and I Gask you F#who I Bam
O Etake me to the sAlaughterhouse, I will Ewait there with the lDambA  Am  
With Amone hand on the Chexagram and Em7one hand on the Bmgirl
I Ambalance on a Cwishing well that Em7all men call the Bmworld
We Amare so small betFween the stars, so Glarge aF#gainst the Bsky
And Elost among the sAubway crowds I tEry to catch your DeyeA  Am
