Light As The Breeze Chords by Leonard Cohen

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ She stands before you naked.
[Am] You [Dm] can see it.
You can taste it.
And [G] she comes to you laid as [C] the breeze. _ _
Now you can drink it or you can nurse it.
It [Dm] don't matter how you worship.
_ [G] As long as [Em] you're down on [C] your knees. _ _
So I knelt there at the delta, at [Dm] the alpha, and the omega.
At [G] the cradle of the river and [Am] the sea.
_ [C] And like a blessing come from heaven.
_ [Dm] For something like a second.
I [G] was healed and my [Em] heart [G] was [C] at ease. _ _ _
_ [E] Oh baby I waited so [Am] long for your kiss.
For [E] something to happen.
[F] Oh, _ _ something [C] like this. _
_ _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
And [C] you're weak and you're harmless.
And [Dm] you're sleeping in your harness.
And [G] the wind going wild in the [Am] trees.
[C] And _ it ain't exactly prison.
But [Dm] you'll never be forgiven.
_ [G] For whatever _ you've [Em] done with [Am] the keys.
[C] _ _
_ [E] Oh baby I waited [Am] so long for your kiss.
For [E] something to happen.
_ [F] Oh, _ something [C] like this. _
_ _ [D] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] It's dark now and it's snowing.
Oh [Dm] my love I must be going.
_ [G] The river [Dm] has [G] started [C] to freeze. _ _
And I'm sick of pretending.
_ [Dm] I'm broken _ from bending.
_ [G] I've lived too long [C] on my knees. _
And she dances so graceful.
And [Dm] your heart's hard and hateful.
And [G] she's naked but that's just [C] a tease. _ _
And you're turning _ disgust.
From [Dm] your hatred and from your love.
[G] And she comes to you like [C] a breeze. _ _
Oh [E] baby I waited [Am] so long for your kiss.
[E] For something to happen.
_ [F] Oh, _ _ something [C] like this.
Something [D] like this.
[B] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ [G] _ _ _ _
There's [C] blood on every bracelet.
You [Dm] can see it.
You can taste it.
And [G] it's please baby please.
Baby [C] please. _ _ _
And she says drink deeply pilgrim.
But don't [Dm] forget there's still a woman.
_ _ [G] Beneath this _ resplendent [C] tree. _ _ _
So [E] I knelt there at the delta.
At [Am] the alpha and the omega.
_ [E] I knelt there like one who [F] believes. _ _
And [C] the blessings come from heaven. _
And for [D] something like a second.
[B] _ _
I'm [G] cured and my heart is at ease. _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
