Leonard Cohen: The Partisan (La Complainte du Partisan)
(French text: Bernard, Music: Anna Marly,
English text: Hy Saret)
from the CD's "Songs from a room", "Greatest Hits" and
"Heart Housed in a Thorn Bush" (Live at Montreux, 1984)
the pattern I play I've learned from a friend (erwin). Its easier to play,
but may be there is a certain loss of quality.

The pattern is played two times per bar (indicated by / in first verse).
In the first and second line of every verse there are three chords per bar
and i play the pattern C* and E*.

/ Intro /
When it's time from work to go
And in my boat I row
Cross the muddy Ohio
When the evening light is falling
And I looked towards Floyd's Knobs
Where the afterglories glow
And I dream on two bright eyes
With a merry mouth below
She's my beauteous Catarina
She's my joy and sorrow too
Though I know she is untrue
Ah but I cannot live without her
For my heart's a boat in tow
And I'd give the world to know
If she means to let me go
As I sing the whole day through
/ INSTRUMENTAL – electric slide guitar /
Catarina your lovely hair
Has more beauty I declare
Than all the tresses there
From Smoketown to Oldham County
Be they black, red, gold or brown
Let them hang to lenghts below
They mean not as much to me
As a melting flake of snow
And her dance is like the gleam
Of the sunlight on the stream
And the screeching bluejays seem
To form her name when screaming
But my heart is full of woe
For last night she made me go
And the tears begin to flow
As I sing the whole day through
/ INSTRUMENTAL – acoustic & electric guitar /

you are my sunshine
You Are My Sunshine
(Jimmy Davis & Charles Mitchell)
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
CHORUS
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:
CHORUS

country gospel singer who later served two terms as governor of Louisiana (mid 1
940's and early 1960's).

"If I Needed You" by Townes Van Zandt
As played by Lyle Lovett on the "Step Inside This House" CD.
You might want to put this in your Lyle Lovett and Townes Van Zandt
archives.
I began this effort from the Unnofficial Texas Music Archive. There was a
submission from David B.that I modified into this.
I took the time to attempt to tab it out the way Lyle Lovett plays it XXX
on the "Step Inside This House" CD. In the live show, Lyle had a capo
way up on the 8th fret.

me and ease my pain
If I Needed You
By Townes Van Zandt as played by Lyle Lovett
Capo 8
G
If I needed you
Would you come to me
C
Would you come to me
D G
And ease my pain
If you needed me
I would come to you
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain
In the night forelorn
Aw, the morning's born
And the morning shines
With the lights of love
You will miss sunrise
If you close your eyes
And that would break
My heart in two
Lady's with me now
Since I showed her how
To lay her lilly
Hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree
She's a sight to see
And a treasure for
The poor to find
Thanks for the music, folks. I'll try to keep the submissions coming.
Please send suggestions or requests since I'm not real good at this, yet.

Verse 3:
I'd give you jewelry, and money too
That ain't all, that ain't all I'd do for you if you'd
Bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
Verse 4:
You know I'll always be your slave
Till I'm buried, buried in my grave. Oh, honey
Bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
Verse 5:
I try to treat you right
But you stay out, stay out late at night. I beg you
Bring it to me, bring your sweet lovin'
Bring it on home to me
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah
(Repeat and fade):
Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah

How can a poor man stand such times and live
HOW CAN A POOR MAN STAND SUCH TIMES AND LIVE ?
(Alfred Reed)
(G) - (C) - (G7) - (D) - (D7) - (Am)
(G) I remember a time when every (D) thing was (G) cheap
Now prices nearly puts a man to (D) sleep
(D7) Well, when we (G) get our grocery (G7) bill
We (C) feel like making our (Am) will
Tell me, (G) how can a poor man (D7) stand such times and (G) live ?
Tell me, (G) how can a poor man (D7) stand such times and (G) live ?
Well, the doctor comes around with his face all bright
And he says, "In a little while you'll be all right!"
Well, all he gives is a humbug pill
Dose of dope and a great big bill
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
Most preachers, well, they preach for gold and not for soul
Well, that's what keeps us poor folks always in a hole
Now, we can hardly get our breath
Taxed and schooled and preached to death
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
