SONG OF BERNADETTE LEONARD COHEN
Intro: c G F F
Dm7 G C C
C G F
There was a child named Bernadette
Dm7 G C
I heard the story long ago
C G F
She saw the Queen of Heaven once
Dm7 G C
And kept the vision in her soul
C7 Dm7 C F
No one believed what she had seen
Dm D7 G
No one believed what she had heard
C G F
That there were sorrows to be healed
Dm7 G C
And mercy, mercy in this world
F C F
So many hearts I find
C
Broke like yours and mine
F Dm7 G
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
C G
I just want to hold you
F Dm7
Come on let me hold you
G C F
Like Bernadette would do
We've been around, we fall, we fly
We mostly fall, we mostly run
And every now and then we try
To mend the damage that we've done
Tonight, tonight I just cannot rest
I've got this joy here inside my breast
To think that I did not forget
That child, that song of Bernadette
So many hearts I find
Hearts like yours and mine
Torn by what we've done and can't undo
I just want to hold you
Won't you let me hold you
Like Bernadette would do
C G
I just want to hold you
F Dm7
Come on let me hold you
C G F C
Like Bernadette would do
