WINTER LADY - Leonard Cohen
[Verse 1]
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
Traveling lady stay a while
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
Until the night is over
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
I'm just a station on your way
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
I know I am not your lover
[Chorus 1]
Dadd4/A Am7
Well, I lived with a child of snow
Dadd4/A Am7
When I was a soldier
Dadd4/A Am7
And I fought every man for her
Dadd4/A Am7
Until the nights grew colder
[Verse 2]
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
She used to wear her hair like you
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
Except when she was sleeping
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
And then she'd weave it on a loom
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
Of smoke and gold and breathing
[Chorus 2]
Dadd4/A Am7
And why are you so quiet now
Dadd4/A Am7
Standing there in the doorway?
Dadd4/A Am7
You chose your journey long before
Dadd4/A Am7
You came upon this highway
[Verse 3]
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
Traveling lady stay a while
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
Until the night is over
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4 C
I'm just a station on your way
Dadd4 Amaj7 Dadd4
I know I am not your lover
