Leonard Cohen - Almost Like the Blues
I Dmsaw some people starving
There was Dmmurder, there was rape
Their Dmvillages were burning
They were Dmtrying to escape
I Gmcouldn't meet their glances
I was Gmstaring at my shoes
It was Dmacid, it was tragic
It was Dmalmost like the blues
WAmoo-oo-oGmoo It was almost like the blDmues Dm
I Dmhave to die a little
BetDmween each murderous thought
And Dmwhen I'm finished thinking
I Dmhave to die a lot
There's Gmtorture and there's killing
And there's Gmall my bad reviews
The Dmwar, the children missing
Lord, it's Dmalmost like the blues
WAmoo-oGmoo It's almost like the Dm blues Dm
So I Dmlet my heart get frozen
To Dmkeep away the rot
My Dmfather says I'm chosen
My Dmmother says I'm not
I Gmlistened to their story
Of the GmGypsies and the Jews
It was good, Dm it wasn't boring
It was Dmalmost like the blues
Am Woo-oo-oo-oGmoo It was almost like the Dm blues Dm
There Dmis no G-d in Heaven
And there Dmis no Hell below
So Dmsays the great professor
Of Dmall there is to know
But I've Gmhad the invitation
That a Gmsinner can't refuse
And it's Dmalmost like salvation
It's Dmalmost like the blues
WAmooo-oo-oo-oGmoo It's almost like the Dm blues Dm
WAmooo-oo-oo-oGmoo Almost like the Dm blues Dm
Am Woo-oo-oo-oGmoo, Almost like the Dm blues Dm Dm Dm

Leonard Cohen - Almost Like the Blues
12-bar minor blues:
DmDmDmDmGmGmDmDmAmGmDmDm
I saw some people starving
There was murder, there was rape
Their villages were burning
They were trying to escape
I couldn't meet their glances
I was staring at my shoes
It was acid, it was tragic
It was almost like the blues
Woo-oo-ooo It was almost like the blues
I have to die a little
Between each murderous thought
And when I'm finished thinking
I have to die a lot
There's torture and there's killing
And there's all my bad reviews
The war, the children missing
Lord, it's almost like the blues
Woo-ooo It's almost like the blues
So I let my heart get frozen
To keep away the rot
My father says I'm chosen
My mother says I'm not
I listened to their story
Of the Gypsies and the Jews
It was good, it wasn't boring
It was almost like the blues
Woo-oo-oo-ooo It was almost like the blues
There is no G-d in Heaven
And there is no Hell below
So says the great professor
Of all there is to know
But I've had the invitation
That a sinner can't refuse
And it's almost like salvation
It's almost like the blues
Woo-oo-oo-ooo It's almost like the blues
Woo-oo-oo-ooo Almost like the blues
Woo-oo-oo-ooo, Almost like the blues
