NOTES:
capo instrument at 1st fret

Introduction:

Am G

C
The birds they sang

at the break of day

G
Start again

C C7
I heard them say

E7
Don't dwell on what

Am
has passed away

G Gsus4 G5 G7 G
or what is yet to be.

C
The wars, they will

be fought again
G
The holy dove
C C7
she will be caught again
E7
bought and sold
Am
and bought again
G Gsus4 G5 G7 G
the dove is never free.

chorus:
F Bb F
Ring the bells that still can ring.

Bb F
Forget your perfect offering.

C Bb F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything.

Dm7 G Gsus4 G
That's how the light gets in.

C
We asked for signs

the signs were sent
G
the birth betrayed
C C7
the marriage spent
E7
the widowhood
Am
of every government
G Gsus4 G5 G7 G
signs for all to see.

C
Can't run no more

with the lawless crowd
G
while the killers in high places
C C7
say their prayers out loud.
E7
But they've summoned up
Am
A thundercloud
G Gsus4 G5 G7 G
and they're going to hear from me.

chorus:
F Bb F
Ring the bells that still can ring.

Bb F
Forget your perfect offering.

C Bb F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything.

Dm7 G Gsus4 G
That's how the light gets in.

C
You can add up the parts

but you won't have the sum
G
You can strike up the march,
C C7
there is no drum
E7
Every heart
Am
to love will come
G Gsus4 G5 G7 G
but like a refugee.

chorus:
F Bb F
Ring the bells that still can ring.

Bb F
Forget your perfect offering.

C Bb F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything.

Dm7 G Gsus4 G
That's how the light gets in.

chorus:
F Bb F
Ring the bells that still can ring.

Bb F
Forget your perfect offering.

C Bb F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything.

Dm7 G Gsus4 G
That's how the light gets in.

that's how the light gets in
that's how the light gets in

Thank you, George, for giving me your version that I like very much, even your singing. So I can use the cords on my Bariton-Ukulele. I met the song first time when I heard an interview to a book. The author, Heribert Prantl, cites Leonard Cohen's Anthem and the book is titled (translated from German) Win freedom - unlearn violence.

Man, there is just something soothing about those Cohen tunes. I am so happy he has left us with such great music. Thanks for keeping his music alive.

Very nice cover. I liked Leonard Cohen and we miss him. I saw him life in France in the 70th...
Thanks for sharing
