A BUNCH OF LONESOME HEROES - Leonard Cohen
A buAnch of lonesome and very quarrelsome herBmoes
EWere smoking ouE7t along the open rAoaAsus4dA  
The night was very dark and thick betBmween them
EEach man beneatE7h his ordinary lAoaAsus4dA  
CHORUS:

But no one really could hear him
The night so dark and thick and green
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there
Where you and I have only been
CHORUS #2:
Put out your cigarette, my love
You've been alone too long
And some of us are very hungry now
To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong
I sing this for the crickets
I sing this for the army
I sing this for your children
And for all who do not need me
CHORUS #3:
"I'd like to tell my story"
Said one of them so bold
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
'Cos you know I feel I'm turning into gold"

A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes

Were smoking out along the open road

The night was very dark and thick between them

Each man beneath his ordinary load

"I'd like to tell my story"

B E E7

Said one of them so young and bold

"I'd like to tell my story

F#m E Esus4 E E7

Before I turn into gold"

But no one really could hear him

The night so dark and thick and green

Well I guess that these heroes must always live there

Where you and I have only been

CHORUS #2:

Put out your cigarette, my love

You've been alone too long

And some of us are very hungry now

To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong

I sing this for the crickets

I sing this for the army

I sing this for your children

And for all who do not need me

CHORUS #3:

"I'd like to tell my story"

Said one of them so bold

"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story

'Cos you know I feel I'm turning into gold"
