Dear Heather:

Because of

written by Leonard Cohen


Intro: Bm

              Bm
Because of a few songs
            Em/b
Wherein I spoke of their mystery,
            Bm
Women have been

Exceptionally kind
          A
to my old age.
                     Bm
They make a secret place

In their busy lives
Em/b
And they take me there.
        Bm
They become naked

In their different ways
          Asus4
and they say,
G
"Look at me, Leonard
                     D
Look at me one last time."
           A
Then they bend over the bed
G
And cover me up
                      D
Like a baby that is shivering.
        A                    D/a
Like a baby (Like a baby)

              F#7
