A Thousand Kisses Deep/ Leonard Cohen/

CAPO: 4th Fret

[Intro]

Capo on the 1st

You can play the B chord as a B7 if its easier to you

Fm C

The ponies run, the girls are young,

Fm Fm

The odds are there to beat.

Fm C

You win a while, and then it’s done

C#

Your little winning streak.

A#m C

And summoned now to deal

Fm D# C#

With your invincible defeat,

A#m C

You live your life as if it’s real,

C# D# Fm

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Fm C

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,

Fm Fm

I’m back on Boogie Street.

Fm C

You lose your grip, and then you slip

C#

Into the Masterpiece.

A#m C

And maybe I had miles to drive,

Fm D# C#

And promises to keep:

A#m C

You ditch it all to stay alive,

C# D# Fm

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Fm C Fm Fm Fm C C# C#

A#m C

And sometimes when the night is slow,

Fm D# C#

The wretched and the meek,

A#m C

We gather up our hearts and go,

C# D# Fm

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Fm C

Confined to sex, we pressed against

Fm Fm

The limits of the sea:

Fm C

I saw there were no oceans left

Fm D# C#

For scavengers like me.

A#m C

I made it to the forward deck.

Fm D# C#

I blessed our remnant fleet

A#m C

And then consented to be wrecked,

C# D# Fm

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Fm C

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,

Fm Fm

I’m back on Boogie Street.

Fm C

I guess they won’t exchange the gifts

C#

That you were meant to keep.

A#m C

And quiet is the thought of you,

Fm D# C#

The file on you complete,

A#m C

Except what we forgot to do,

C# D# C#

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Fm C Fm Fm Fm C C# C#

A#m C

And sometimes when the night is slow,

Fm D# C#

The wretched and the meek,

A#m C

We gather up our hearts and go,

C# D# Fm

A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Fm C

The ponies run, the girls are young,

Fm Fm

The odds are there to beat.

Fm C

You win a while, and then it’s done

C#

Your little winning streak.

A#m C

And summoned now to deal

Fm D# C#

With your invincible defeat,

A#m C

You live your life as if it’s real,

C# D# Fm

A Thousand Kisses Deep.
