Take This Waltz Chords by Leonard Cohen

[B] _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Db] Now [Bb] in [B] Vienna there's ten [Abm] pretty women, _ _ _ [B] there's a shoulder [Gb] where death [Abm] comes to cry, _ _ _
[E] there's a lobby with nine [Gb] hundred windows, _ _ [E] there's a tree where the [B] doves go to die,
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] _
[Ab] there's a [Abm] piece that was torn from the morning _ and [Dbm] it hangs in the [Ab] gallery [Dbm] of frost.
_ _ [B] _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ Take _ _ [Eb] this waltz, take [Abm] this waltz, _ take [Db] this waltz with a clamp on [E] its jaws. _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
[Bbm] _ [Gb] _ _ _ Oh [B] I want you, [Ebm] I want you, [Abm] I want you on [B] a chair with a [Abm] dead magazine, _ _ _
[E] in the cave at the tip of [Gb] the lily, _ _ in [E] some hallway where [B] loves never be,
_ [Eb] _ on [Abm] our bed where [Eb] the moon has [B] been sweating, _ [F] _ in [Dbm] a cry [Ab] filled with footsteps [Dbm] and sand.
_ _ _ [B] _
[E] I, _ _ [B] I, I, I.
_ _ Take [Eb] this waltz, _ take [Gb] this [Ab] _ waltz, take [Dbm] its broken waist in [F] your hand. _ _ _
[B] _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ [G] _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Abm] This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this [Dbm] waltz with its very own breath [Abm] of brandy and death, _
[Em] dragging its tail in [B] the sea. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _
[B] There's a concert _ hall [Abm] in Vienna _ _ [B] where your mouth [Ebm] had a thousand
[Abm] reviews, _ _ _ [E] there's a bar where the boys have [Gb] stopped talking, _ they've [E] been sentenced to [B] death by the
noose.
[Bbm] _ Ah [Abm] but who is it climbs to your picture _ _ _ [Dbm] with a garland [Ab] of freshly [Dbm] cut tears?
_ _ [B] _
[E] I, _ _ [B] I, I, I.
_ Take [G] this waltz, _ take [Abm] this _ waltz, take [Dbm] this waltz, it's been dying [E] for years.
_ [B] _ [E] _

[Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[B] There's an attic [Ebm] where children [Abm] are played, _ _ where [B] I've got to lie down [Abm] with you soon. _ _
[E] In a dream of _ _ [Gb] Hungarian _ _ lanterns [E] in the midst of some sweet [B] afternoon,
_ [Eb] _ _
[Abm] and I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow, [F] _ _
[Dbm] all your sheep [Ab] and your lilies [Dbm] of snow.
_ _ _ [B] _
[E] I, _ _ I, [B] I, I.
_ Take [Eb] this waltz, _ take [Ab] this waltz, with its [Dbm] all never _ forget you, [F] you know. _ _ _ _
[B] _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ [G] _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [E] _
[Abm] This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz [Dbm] with its very own breath [Abm] of brandy and death,
[Em] dragging its tail [B] in the sea. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[B] _ _ With you in [Abm] Vienna, _ _ I'll [B] be wearing [Ebm] a river's [Abm] _ disguise. _ _
The [E] highest of wild on [Gb] my shoulder, _ _ [E] my mouth on the [B] deal of your life,
_ and I'll bury my soul in [Abm] a scrapbook _ with [B] the photograph there [Gb] _ in the [Abm] months.
_ _ And [E] I'll yield to the flood of [Gb] your beauty, _ _ [E] my cheap violin [B] [Dbm] in [B] my palms.
[Bbm] _ And [Abm] you'll carry me down on your dancing _ to [Dbm] the pools that [Ab] you lift on [Dbm] your wrist,
_ _ [Abm] oh my [E] _ love, [B] oh my love.
_ Take [G] this [Eb] waltz, _ take [Abm] this waltz, _ _ [Dbm] it's yours now, it's all [Abm] that [E] there is. _ _ _ _
