THE LAW LEONARD COHEN
Intro: Dm
Dm
How many times did you call me
Am
And I knew it was late
Dm
I left everybody
Am
But I never went straight
F
I don't claim to be guilty
Dm
But I do understand
Bb A Dm
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
Bb A Dm
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
Dm
Now my heart's like a blister
Am
From doing what I do
Dm
If the moon has a sister
Am
It's got to be you
F
I'm going to miss you forever
Dm
Though it's not what I planned
Bb A Dm
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
Bb A Dm
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand
Dm
Now the deal has been dirty
Am
Since dirty began

I'm not asking for mercy
Am
Not from the man

You just don't ask for mercy
Dm
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

That's all I can say

It wasn't for nothing

That they put me away
F
I fell with my angel

Down the chain of command
