The Guests Chords & Lyrics - Leonard Cohen

[INTRO E]

[VERSE 1]

[E]One by one,[D] the guests arrive,[C] the guests are coming [D]through
[E]The open-hearted m[D]any,[C] the broken-hearted [D]few

[CHORUS 1]

And [A]no one knows where the [D]night is going
And [A]no one knows why the w[D]ine is flowing
[C]Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[E]Oh..........I need you [A]now

[VERSE 2]

[E]And those who dance[D] , begin to dance,[C] those who weep [D]begin
[E]And "welcome, welcome" [D]cries a voice[C] "let all my guests [D]come in."

[CHORUS 2]

And [A]no one knows where the [D]night is going
And [A]no one knows why the w[D]ine is flowing
[C]Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[E]Oh..........I need you [A]now

[VERSE 3]

[E]And all go stumbling [D]through that house,[C] in lonely secre[D]cy
[E]Saying "do reveal your[D]self", or "[C]why has thou fors[D]aken me? "

[CHORUS 3]

And [A]no one knows where the [D]night is going
And [A]no one knows why the w[D]ine is flowing
[C]Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[E]Oh..........I need you [A]now

[VERSE 4]

[E]All at once,[D] the torches flare,[C] the inner door flies [D]open
[E]One by one, [D]they enter there,[C] in every style of p[D]assion

[CHORUS 4]

And [A]no one knows where the [D]night is going
And [A]no one knows why the w[D]ine is flowing
[C]Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[E]Oh..........I need you [A]now

[VERSE 5]

[E]And here they take their [D]sweet repast,[C] while house and grounds d[D]issolve
[E]And one by one the g[D]uests are cast,[C] beyond the garden [D]wall

[CHORUS 5]

And [A]no one knows where the [D]night is going
And [A]no one knows why the w[D]ine is flowing
[C]Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[E]Oh..........I need you [A]now

[VERSE 6]

[E]And those who dance[D] , begin to dance,[C] those who weep [D]begin
[E]Those who earnestly are l[D]ost, are l[C]ost and lost a[D]gain

[CHORUS 6]

And [A]no one knows where the [D]night is going
And [A]no one knows why the w[D]ine is flowing
[C]Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[E]Oh..........I need you [A]now

Verse 7: (same as 1)

[E]One by one,[D] the guests arrive, the guests[C] are coming [D]through
[E]The open-hearted m[D]any, [C]the broken-hearted [D]few

[CHORUS 7]

And [A]no one knows where the [D]night is going
And [A]no one knows why the w[D]ine is flowing
[C]Oh love I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
[E]Oh..........I need you [A]now
