A Bunch of Lonesome Heroes

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------## A BUNCH OF LONESOME HEROES- Leonard Cohen A Bm A bunch of lonesome and very quarrelsome heroes E E7 A AAus4 Were smoking out along the open road Bm The night was very dark and thick between them E E7 A AAus4 Each man beneath his ordinary load CHORUS: DDmaj7 Bm D A Amaj7A#m "I'd like to tell my story" B E E7 Said one of them so young and bold DDmaj7 Bm D AA#mj7 "I'd like to tell my story F#m E E7us4 Before I turn into gold" But no one really could hear him The night so dark and thick and green Well I guess that these heroes must always live there Where you and I have only been CHORUS #2: Put out your cigarette, my love You've been alone too long And some of us are very hungry now To hear what it is you've done that was so wrong I sing this for the crickets I sing this for the army I sing this for your children And for all who do not need me CHORUS #3: "I'd like to tell my story" Said one of them so bold "Oh yes, I'd like to tell my story 'Cos you know I feel I'm turning into gold" Esus4: 0 2 2 2 0 0 Dmaj7: x x 0 2 2 2 Amaj7: x 0 2 1 2 0 Asus4: x 0 2 2 3 0 (from Songs From a Room, 1968)
