A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes
------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Songwriters: Leonard Cohen
[Verse 1]
A Bm
A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
Were smoking out along the open road;
A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
The night was very dark and thick between them,
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
Each man beneath his ordinary load.
[Chorus]
D A A/G# A/F# A/E
"I'd like to tell my story, "
B E E7
Said one of them so young and bold,
D A A/G# A/F# A/E
"I'd like to tell my story,
F#m E E7
Before I turn into gold."
[Verse 2]
A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
But no one really could hear him,
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
The night so dark and thick and green;
A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
Well I guess that these heroes must always live there
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
Where you and I have only been.
[Chorus]
D A A/G# A/F# A/E
Put out your cigarette, my love,
B E E7
You've been alone too long;
D A A/G# A/F# A/E
And some of us are very hungry now
F#m E Esus4 E E7
To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong.
[Verse 3]
A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
I sing this for the crickets,
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
I sing this for the army,
A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
I sing this for your children
E E7 A Asus4 A Asus2 A Asus2 A
And for all who do not need me.
[Chorus]
D A A/G# A/F# A/E
"I'd like to tell my story, "
B E E7
Said one of them so bold,
D A A/G# A/F# A/E
"Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story
F#m E E7
'Cause you know I feel I'm turning into gold."
