Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Joan of Arc” dari Leonard Cohen:
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G D
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
C G
As she came riding through the dark
A D
No moon to keep her armour bright
A G D
No man to get her through this dark, and smoky night
[Verse]
G D
She said, "I'm tired of the war
C G
I want the kind of work I had before
A D
A wedding dress or something white
A G D
To wear upon my swollen appetite".
[Chorus]
D Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
C G D G
la, la la la la la la
[Verse]
G D
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way
C G
I've watched you riding every day
A D
And something in me, that yearns to win
A G D
Such a cold and lonesome heroine
[Verse]
G D
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
C G
To the one beneath the smoke
A D
"Why, I'm fire," he replied
A G D
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."
[Chorus]
D Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
C G D G
la, la la la la la la,
[Verse]
G D
"Well then fire, make your body cold
C G
I'm going to give you mine to hold,"
A D
And saying this she climbed inside
A G D
To be his one, to be his only bride
[Verse]
G D
And deep into his fiery heart
C G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
A D
And high above the wedding guests
A G D
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress
[Chorus]
D Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
C G D G
la, la la la la la
[Verse]
G D
It was deep into his fiery heart
C G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
A D
And then she clearly understood
A G D
If he was fire, oh she must be wood
[Verse]
G D
I saw her wince, I saw her cry
C G
I saw the glory in her eye
A D
Myself I long for love and light
A G D
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
[Chorus]
D Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
C G D G
la, la la la la la la,
