If It Be Your Will

written by Leonard Cohen


Capo 4th fret

Intro: G.. ...|G.. ...|

C              Dm
If it be your will
Bb               Am
That I speak no more
C                 Dm
And my voice be still
F            C
As it was before
Am               G
I will speak no more
    Am           G
I shall abide until
F            C
I am spoken for
       G
If it be your will

If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing

C.. ...|Dm.. ...|Bb.. ...|Am.. ...|
C.. ...|Dm.. ...|F.. ...|C.. ...|

Am                G
From this broken hill
           Am                G
All your praises they shall ring
F              C
If it be your will
    G
To let me sing

If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
               C
If it be your will
