Memories-Leonard Cohen-Death of a Ladies Man

Comments: the notes in () should be stressed for they are the base
line, this piece is not in the original key, all notes are of equal
value. This piece sounds better on the piano but this quitar version
is mellower

      Frankie Lane,   he was        singing    Jezebel
     I pinned an    Iron Cross         to my lapel

     I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl
     I said, Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will

 So   won't you let me see, I said
      "won't you let me see"

       F F F F F F F F F F...
I said "won't you let me see
 Your naked body?"

     Just dance me to the dark side of the gym
     Chances are I'll let you do most anything
     I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice
     And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice
     Ah but no you cannot see
     She said "no you cannot see"
     She said "no you cannot see
     My naked body"

     So We're dancing close, the band is playing Stardust
     Balloons and paper streamers floating down on us
     She says, You've got a minute left to fall in love
     In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust
     And all my faith to see
     I said all my faith to see
     I said all my faith to see
     Her naked body
