Leonard Cohen - The Guests Chords

Leonard Cohen - The Guests Chords

Intro: E


Verse 1: 
 
E          D                  C                      D
One by one, the guests arrive, the guests are coming through
E                 D   C                   D   
The open-hearted many, the broken-hearted few


Chorus 1: 

    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C 
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now


Verse 2: 

E                  D                C               D
And those who dance, begin to dance, those who weep begin
E                      D            C                   D    
And "welcome, welcome" cries a voice "let all my guests come in."


Chorus 2: 

    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C 
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now


Verse 3: 

E                    D                  C               D 
And all go stumbling through that house, in lonely secrecy
E                     D          C                D
Saying "do reveal yourself", or "why has thou forsaken me? "


Chorus 3: 

    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C 
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now


Verse 4: 

E           D                  C                     D
All at once, the torches flare, the inner door flies open
E           D                C                   D
One by one, they enter there, in every style of passion


Chorus 4: 

    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C 
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now


Verse 5: 

E                        D            C                         D 
And here they take their sweet repast, while house and grounds dissolve
E                   D              C                  D    
And one by one the guests are cast, beyond the garden wall


Chorus 5: 

    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C 
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now


Verse 6: 

E                  D                C               D
And those who dance, begin to dance, those who weep begin
E                        D         C             D    
Those who earnestly are lost, are lost and lost again


Chorus 6: 

    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C 
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now


Verse 7: (same as 1) 

E          D                             C           D
One by one, the guests arrive, the guests are coming through
E                 D    C                  D   
The open-hearted many, the broken-hearted few


Chorus 7: 

    A                      D
And no one knows where the night is going
    A                     D
And no one knows why the wine is flowing
C 
Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
E                      A
Oh..........I need you now
