Avalanche by Leonard Cohen
Chords and Lyrics
Am F Am G Am
*Verse 1:
Am F Am G Am
I stepped into an avalanche It covered up my soul
Am F
When I am not this hunchback that you see
Am G Am
I sleep beneath a golden hill
C E/b
You who wish to conquer pain
Am F E
You must learn, learn to serve me well
*Verse 2:
Am F Am G Am
You strike my side by accident As you go down for your gold
Am F
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
Am G Am
Is neither starved nor cold
C E/b
He does not ask for your company
Am F E
Not at the centre, the centre of the world
*Verse 3:
Am F Am G Am
When I am on a pedestal You did not raise me there
Am F
Your laws do not compel me
Am G Am
To kneel grotesque and bare
C E/b
I myself am the pedestal
Am F E
For this ugly hump at which you stare
*Verse 4:
Am F Am G Am
You who wish to conquer pain You must learn what makes me kind
Am F
The crumbs of love that you offer me
Am G Am
They're the crumbs I've left behind
C E/b
Your pain is no credential here
Am F E
It's just the shadow, shadow of my wound
*Verse 5:
Am F Am G Am
I have begun to long for you I who have no greed
Am F
I have begun to ask for you
Am G Am
I who have no need
C E/b
You say you've gone away from me
Am F E
But I can feel you when you breathe
*Verse 6:
Am F Am G Am
Do not dress in those rags for me I know you are not poor
Am F
You don't love me quite so fiercely now
Am G Am
When you know that you are not sure
C E/b
It is your turn, beloved
Am F E
It is your flesh that I wear
