Leonard Cohen: I'm your man.



This song is from the CD "I'm your man" and can also be heard in an



italian film called "Caro diario" by the film-maker Nanni Moretti (1994).



This film won the price for the best direction in Cannes 1994.



I am interested in the words and chords of the song "Passing Through" and



in chords of the songs appeared on the albums "Various Positions" and



"Death of a Laidies Man" (e.g. Hallelujah, If it be your will, True love



leave no traces, ...). I would be thankful if you can help me.

             /Em            /           /D            /

If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to.

               /Em                /             /D            /

And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.

             /Bm                 /                   /G                /

If you want a partner take my hand, or if you want to strike me down in anger ,

/A           /        /Bm

here I stand.  I'm your man.

             /Em           /            /D

If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you.

                        /Em             /                   /D           /D

And if you want a jewish doctor, I'll examine every precious inch of you.

             /Bm                /                  /G                 /

If you want a driver climb inside. Or if you want a take me for a ride,

   /A            /         /Bm     /

You know you can.  I'm your man.

       /D                     /G                     /A                     /D

Ah, the moon's too bright, the chain's too tight, the beast won't go to sleep.

         /F#m                  /                      /Bm                   /

I've been running through these promises to you that I made and I could not keep.

         /F#m             /                 /Bm                   /

Ah, but a man never got a women back, not by begging on his knees.

      /G                          /F#m                       /G

Or I'd crawl to you, baby, and I'd fall at your feet,

       /G                         /F#m

and I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in heat.

       /G                         /E                                  /A

And I'd claw at your heart and I'd tear at your sheet. I'd say, please,

                /Bm     /

please, I'm your man.

                    /Em                 /                  /D             /

And if you've got to sleep for a moment on the road, I will steer for you.

                  /Em                 /            /D             /

And if you want to walk the street alone, I'll disappear for you.

             /Bm                /                   /G

If you want a father for your child, or only want to walk with me

 /               /A     /           /Bm     /

awhile across the sand,     I'm your man
