Ten New Songs:

Love Itself

written by Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson

Intro: F.. ...|... ...|Bb.. ...|... ...|  (x2)

F                           Bb
The light came through the window
F                       Bb
Straight from the sun above
Gm                C
And so inside my little room
Gm      C                  F
There plunged the rays of love

In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me

             Bb           C
I'll try to say a little more:
 F               Bb
Love went on and on
Gm                  A
Until it reached an open door
      Bb
Then Love Itself
 C               F
Love Itself was gone

All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance

I'll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone

             Bb                  C
Then I came back from where I'd been
Dm
My room, it looked the same
Gsus4                  G
But there was nothing left between
Csus4       C                       F
The Nameless and the Name (and the Name)

All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance

I'll try to say a little more:
Oh love went on and on
Until it reached an open door
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone
Love Itself
Love Itself was gone

D                           G
The light came through the window
D                       G
Straight from the sun above
Em                A
And so inside my little room
Em      A                  D
There plunged the rays of love

In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me

             G            A
I'll try to say a little more:
 D               G
Love went on and on
Em                  F#
Until it reached an open door
      G
Then Love Itself
 A               D
Love Itself was gone

All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance

I'll try to say a little more:
Love went on and on
Until it reached an open door
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone

             G                   A
Then I came back from where I'd been
Bm
My room, it looked the same
Esus4                  E
But there was nothing left between
Asus4       A                       D
The Nameless and the Name (and the Name)

All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance

I'll try to say a little more:
Oh love went on and on
Until it reached an open door
Then Love Itself
Love Itself was gone
Love Itself
Love Itself was gone
