Dear Heather:

The Faith

written by Leonard Cohen (based on a Quebec folk song)


Intro: A.. D..|A.. ...|Bm.. E6. E|A.. ...|

     A
The sea so deep and blind
     F#m      D       E
The sun, the wild regret
                          A
The club, the wheel, the mind,
   Bm               C#7   F#m
O love, aren't you tired yet?
      A         D         A
The club, the wheel, the mind
   Bm               E     A      Bm   E   A
O love, aren't you tired yet?

The blood, the soil, the faith
These words you can't forget
Your vow, your holy place
O love, aren't you tired yet?
The blood, the soil, the faith
O love, aren't you tired yet?

A cross on every hill
A star, a minaret
So many graves to fill
O love, aren't you tired yet?
So many graves to fill
O love, aren't you tired yet?

The sea so deep and blind
Where still the sun must set
And time itself unwind
O love, aren't you tired yet?
And time itself unwind
O love, aren't you tired yet?
