Live in Bryn Mawr, USA on November 23 1975:

Guerrero

written by Leonard Cohen (early version of Iodine)


Bb                          Cm
A lady saw me boasting in Guerrero
   F                                Bb
When I was running smoke across the line
    Eb              D7             Gm
She let me love her till I was a failure
    Eb              F           Bb
Her beauty on my bruise like Iodine
When I was weak enough to learn her method
I said "Will I be punished for my crime?"
She said "There is a table set in heaven"
But I don't like to meet there all the time.
    Eb
She pulled away the mask
        Bb
Of the Madonna
    Eb
She pulled away the valleys
        Bb
Of her thighs
    Eb          D7
She bid me find herself
        Gm
In other women
    F
Until I should destroy her last disguise
Then I was with her when there was no ocean
When there was no moon to spill the tide
Yeah long before the wild imagination
Her layers in Guerrero side by side
She pulled away the mask
Of the Madonna
She pulled away the valleys
Of her thighs
She bid me find herself
In other women
Until I should exhaust her last disguise
Then I was with her when there was no ocean
When there was no moon to spill the tide
Well long before the wild imagination
Her layers in Guerrero side by side
Her layers in Guerrero side by side
