Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Diamonds in the Mine” dari Leonard Cohen.
[Verse 1]
A G
The Woman in blue, she's asking for revenge
A G
The man in white that's you, says he has no friends
A G
The river is swollen up with, rusty cans
A E
And the trees are burning in your promised land
[Chorus]
D A
And there are no letters in the mailbox
D A
And there are no grapes upon the vine
D A
And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore
E A
And there are no diamonds in the mine
[Verse 2]
A G
Well you tell me that your lover has a broken limb
A G
You say your kinda restless now and it's on account of him
A G
Well I saw the man in question it was just the other night
A E
He was eating up a lady where the lions and christians fight
[Chorus]
D A
And there are no letters in the mailbox
D A
And there are no grapes upon the vine
D A
And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore
E A
And there are no diamonds in the mine
[Verse 3]
A G
There is no comfort in the covens of the witch
A G
Some very clever doctor went and sterilised the bitch
A G
And the only man of energy, yes the revolution's pride
A E
He trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child
[Chorus]
D A
And there are no letters in your mailbox
D A
And there are no grapes upon your vine
D A
And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore
E A
And there are no diamonds in your mine
