Verse 1

C                                   G              Bb
  Field Commander Cohen, he was our most important spy.
F
  Wounded in the line of duty,
Dm                        C            Gm
   parachuting acid into    diplomatic cocktail parties,
Bb                        F                 Cm
  urging Fidel Castro to abandon fields and castles.
          Bb              Dm
  Leave it all and like a man,
     Bb              Dm
come back to nothing special,
        Am*               Am*
such as waiting rooms and ticket lines,
Dm*             Am*
 silver bullet suicides,
Dm*             Am*
and messianic ocean tides,
Dm*                Am*
and racial roller-coaster rides
      Bb*                       A*
and other forms of boredom advertised as poetry.
E  E  E  E
(just the bottom note)

Chorus

Bm                       D
   I know you need your sleep now,
                          A
   I know your life's been hard.
Bm                   D
   But many men are falling,
            A
where you promised to stand guard.

Verse 2

  C                                        G                  Bb
I never asked but I heard you cast your lot along with the poor.
F
  But then I overheard your prayer,
Dm
  that you be this and nothing more
C                         Gm               Bb
  than just some grateful faithful woman's    favourite singing
millionaire,
    F               Cm               Bb            Dm
the patron Saint of envy     and the grocer of despair,
E                       A
working for the Yankee Dollar.
E E E E

Chorus

Bm                       D
   I know you need your sleep now,
                          A
   I know your life's been hard.
Bm                   D
   But many men are falling,
            A
where you promised to stand guard.

Verse 3

C                                      G                Bb
 Ah, lover come and lie with me, if my lover is who you are,
F                                 Dm
 and be your sweetest self awhile  until I ask for more, my child.
C                   Gm               Bb
 Then let the other selves be wrong,  yeah, let them manifest and come
F                    Cm
 till every taste is on the tongue,
Bb                        Dm
 till love is pierced and love is hung,
Bb                 Dm
 and every kind of freedom done, then
Am*    F*    Am*    F*   Am*   F*
 oh my love, oh my love, oh my love,...
