The Guests Chords by Leonard Cohen

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
One by one, _ [D] _ _
the guests arrive, _ [C] _
the guests are coming [D] through, _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ the open [D]-hearted many, _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ the broken-hearted [E] few. _ _
_ And [A] no one _ knows [D] where the night is going, _ _ [A] no one _ knows [D] why the wine is _ _ flowing.
[C] _ _
_ I _ _ need you, I need you, I need you, I need [E] you, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I need [A] you now. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Em] And those who [D] dance _ begin to dance, [C] _ _ those who [D] weep begin, _ _
_ _ [Em] and welcome, _ welcome [D] _ cries
And there is a voice, [C] _ _ that all my [E] guests come in, _ _ _ _ [A] and no one _ _ [D] knows where the night
is _ going, _ [A] no one knows [D] why the wine is flowing.
_ _ _ [C]
I _ _ _ _ need you, I need you, I need you, I need [Em]
you, [E] I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ need [A] you now. _ _
And _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ all go stumbling [D] through that house, _
[Am] in [C] lonely _ _
_ [D] secrecy, _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ saying, do [D] reveal yourself, _ _
for [C] why has thou [E] forsaken me? _
_ [A] And no one _ _ knows [Bm] where the night is _ [D] going, [A] no one _ knows [D] why the wine is flowing.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, [E] _
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ need [A] you now.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
All at once, [D] _ _
the [G] torches flare, [C] _ _
the inner door [D] flies open, _ _ _ _ [E] _
one by [Em] one, _ [D] _
they enter there,
_ [C] _
in every [Fm] style [E] of passion.
_ _ _ [A] And no one _ knows [D] where the night is going, [A] no one _ knows [D] why the wine is flowing.
_ [C] _ _
Oh, [F] Lord, I need you, I [C] need you, I need you, I need [E] you, I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ need [A] you now.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[Em] And here they take [D] their sweet _ _ repast, [C] while house and grounds [D] dissolve, _ _ _ _ [E] _
and one by one,
[D] the guests are cast _ [C] beyond the garden [E] wall.
_ _ _ [A] And no one knows [D] where the night is _ going, _ [A] no one _ knows why the [D] wine is _ _ flowing.
[Am] Oh, _ [C] Lord, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need [E] you, _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ need [A] you now. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ Those who [D] dance, _ begin to dance, [C] _ _
those who [D] weep, begin,
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
those who _ [D] earnestly are lost, _ [C] are lost and lost [E] again.
_ _ _ [A] And no one _ _ knows [D] where the night is going, _ [A] no one knows [D] why the wine is flowing.
_ _ [C] I _ _ _ _ [Am] _
need you, I need you, [C] I need you, I need you, [Em] _
[E] I _ _ _ _ _ _ need [A] you now.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
One by one, [D] _ _
the guests arrive, [C] _
the guests are [D] coming through,
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
the broken-hearted [D] many, _
_ _ _ _ [C] _
the open-hearted [E] few. _
_ _ _ [A] And no one knows [D] where the night is going, [A] no one knows [D] why the wine is flowing.
_ _ [C] _
Oh, _ Lord, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need [E] you, I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ need [A] you now.
