The Law Leonard Cohen
Intro
[Dm] [A7]
How many times did you c[Dm]all me[Am7] [Dm]
And I knew it was l[Am]ate[Em7] [Am]
I left everyb[Dm]ody[Am7] [Dm]
But I never went str[Am]aight[Em7] [Am]
I don't claim to be g[F]uilty[C7] [F]
But I do underst[Dm]and[Am7] [Dm]
There's a L[Bb]aw, there's an [A]Arm, there's a H[Dm]and
There's a L[Bb]aw, there's an [A]Arm, there's a H[Dm]and[A7]
Now my heart's like a blister
From doing what I do
If the moon has a sister
It's got to be you
I'm going to miss you forever
Though it's not what I planned
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
Now the deal has been dirty
Since dirty began
I'm not asking for mercy
Not from the man
You just don't ask for mercy
While you're still on the stand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
[Dm] [Am7] [Dm] [Am] [Em7] [Am]
[Dm] [Am7] [Dm] [Am] [Em7] [Am]
I don't claim to be g[F]uilty[C7] [F]
Guilty's too gr[Dm]and[Am7] [Dm]
There's a L[Bb]aw, there's an [A]Arm, there's a H[Dm]and
There's a L[Bb]aw, there's an [A]Arm, there's a H[Dm]and[A7]
That's all I can say, baby
That's all I can say
It wasn't for nothing
That they put me away
I fell with my angel
Down the chain of command
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
