Leonard Cohen - Store Room

couldn’t find chords for this anywhere so did them out meself , hope they’re right .

he play’s this on his classical guitar and does a fast continuous picking pattern the
whole way through .

the music for all the verses and chorus’ are the same .

intro : | Am | Am |

verse :

Am
its not the wind that keeps you up ,
Am
its not the snow ,
C
its not the moon ,
E
coming like a headlight ,
G
through your window .
Am
its not the thumbnail of a screen ,
C E G Am
that scrapes away your dream .

chorus :

F#m
its just this man .

taking what he needs ,
E
from the store room .

verse :

( Am )
its not the news of burning towns ,
that ruins your mind ,
like a spool you turn and you turn ,
but it wont unwind .
though these wars you did not start ,
they dont tear your sleep apart .

chorus :

its just a man .
taking what he needs ,
from the store room .

verse :

and now this woman by your side ,
well shes asleep ,
and theres nothing you can give her ,
and theres nothing you want to keep .
you dont even try to prove that the noise ,
is neighbors making love .

chorus :

its just a man .
taking what he needs ,
from the store room .

verse :

well go to sleep and change the locks ,
when you wake up ,
share your toast maybe ,
spill some coffee from your cup .
oh theres nothing left to choose ,
and there is so much more to loose .

chorus :

theres this man .
taking what he needs ,
from the store room .

verse :

its not the wind that keeps you up ,
its not the snow ,
its not the moon ,
coming like a headlight ,
through your window .
its not the thumbnail of a screen ,
that scrapes away your dream .

chorus :

its just a man .
taking what he needs ,
from the store room .

verse :

its not the news of burning towns ,
that ruins your mind ,
like a spool you turn and you turn ,
but wont unwind .
no these wars you did not start ,
they dont tear your sleep apart .

chorus :

its just a man .
taking what he needs ,
from the store room .

verse :

and now the woman by your side ,
well shes awake ,
but theres nothing you can give her ,
and theres nothing you want to take .
you dont even try to prove that the noise ,
is neighbors making love .

chorus :

its just a man .
taking what he needs ,
from the store room .

verse :

oh go to sleep and change the locks ,
when you wake up ,
share your toast maybe ,
spill a little coffee from your cup .
hes got nothing left to choose ,
and youve got so much more to loose .

chorus :

its just a man .
taking what he needs ,
from the store room .

quite a lengthy tune , but a good one .
