SEEMS SO LONG AGO - LEONARD COHEN
Bm F# Bm F#m C#m F#m
It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone
A Bm A E A
Looking at the Late Late show through a semi-precious stone
C# F#m D A
In the House of Honesty her father was on trial
E F#m C#m D
In the House of Mystery there was no one at all
A E F#m
there was no one at all
Bm F# Bm F#m C#m F#m
It seems so long ago, none of us were strong
A Bm A E A
Nancy wore green stockings and she slept with everyone
C# F#m D A
She never said she'd wait for us although she was alone
E F#m C#m D
I think she fell in love for us in nineteen sixty one
A E F#m
In nineteen sixty one
Bm F# Bm F#m C#m F#m
It seems so long ago, Nancy was alone
A Bm A E A
A forty five beside her head, an open telephone
C# F#m D A
We told her she was beautiful, we told her she was free
E F#m C#m D
But none of us would meet her in the House of Mystery
A E F#m
The House of Mystery
Bm F# Bm F#m C#m F#m
And now you look around you, see her everywhere
A Bm A E A
Many use her body, many comb her hair
C# F#m D A
In the hollow of the night when you are cold and numb
E F#m C#m D
You hear her talking freely then She's happy that you've come
A E F#m
She's happy that you've come
