Simak lirik dan chord lagu "Anthem" milik Leonard Cohen.

[Verse 1]
                   C
The birds they sang at the break of day
G
Start again
C
I heard them say
E                               Am
Don't dwell on what has passed away
G
or what is yet to be

C
The wars they will be fought again
G                            C
The holy dove be caught again
E                             Am
bought and sold and bought again
G
the dove is never free

[Chorus]
              F             A#            F
Ring the bells that still can ring
                 A#              F
Forget your perfect offering
                     C      A#             F
There is a crack, a crack, in everything
                     Dm                G
That's how the light gets in

[Verse 2]
C
We asked for signs the signs were sent
G                                         C
the birth betrayed, the marriage spent
E                                Am
the widowhood of every government 
G
signs for all to see

C
Can't run no more
C
with the lawless crowd
G
while the killers in high places
C
say their prayers out loud
E
But they've summoned up
Am                                    G
A thundercloud and they're going to hear from me.

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Verse 3]
C
You can add up the parts
C
but you won't have the sum
G
You can strike up the march
C
There is no drum
E                     Am
Every heart to love will come
G
but like a refugee

[Ulangi Chorus] 2x
