Everybody Knows (cross harp)

by Leonard Cohen

Edit

Note: I hate to be one of those people who only posts half the song, but I can only go by what the songbook gives me.  Anyone with a better ear for music than I is welcome to finish this.

-3” 3 3 3   -2
 Everybody knows 
 
 
 
And everybody knows that it's now or never 
 
Everybody knows that it's me or you 
 
And everybody knows that you live forever 
 
When you've done a line or two 
 
Everybody knows the deal is rotten 
 
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton 
 
For your ribbons and bows 
 
And everybody knows 
 
 
 
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming 
 
Everybody knows that it's moving fast 
 
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman 
 
Are just a shining artifact of the past 
 
Everybody knows the scene is dead 
 
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed 
 
That will disclose 
 
What everybody knows 
 
 
 
And everybody knows that you're in trouble 
 
Everybody knows what you've been through 
 
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary 
 
To the beach of Malibu 
 
Everybody knows it's coming apart 
 
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart 
 
Before it blows 
 
And everybody knows 
 
 
 
Everybody knows, everybody knows 
 
That's how it goes 
 
Everybody knows 
 
 
 
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows 
 
That's how it goes 
 
Everybody knows 
 
 
 
Everybody knows
