Going Home Chords by Leonard Cohen

_ _ To [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ speak with Leonard, [Em] he's a sportsman and a shepherd.
[G] He's a lazy bastard living [D] in a suit.
_ But he does say what I tell him, [Em] even though it isn't welcome.
[G] He just doesn't have the freedom [D] to refuse.
[C#m] _ [Bm] He will speak these words of wisdom [A] like a sage, [F#] a man of vision,
[Bm] though he knows he's [E] really nothing [G] but the brief [E] elaboration [A] of a tube. _
[D] Going home [Em] without my sorrow, [C] going home [G] sometime tomorrow,
[C] going home to [G] where it's better [Bm] than before.
[A] _
[D] Going home [Em] without my burden, [C] going home in [G] that _
[C] _ _ [G] costume [Bm] that I wore.

[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] He wants to write a love song, [Em] an anthem of forgiving, [G] a manual for living [D] with defeat.
[A] _
[D] A cry above the suffering, [C] a sacrifice [Em] recovering, [G] but that isn't what I need him [D] to complete.
[A] _
[Bm] I want him to be certain [A] that he doesn't have [F#] a burden, [Bm] that he doesn't need [E] a vision,
[G] that he only [E] has permission [A] to do my [A#] instant bidding, [Bm] which is to say [E] what I have told [A] him to repeat.
[C#] _ [D] Going home without [Em] my sorrow, [C] going home [G] sometime tomorrow,
[C] going home to [G] where it's better [Bm] than before.
