LEONARD COHEN - "im your man" Tablature
Official LEONARD COHEN Tablature & Sheet Music »
Leonard Cohen: I'm your man.
This song is from the CD "I'm your man" and can also be heard in an
italian film called "Caro diario" by the film-maker Nanni Moretti (1994).
This film won the price for the best direction in Cannes 1994.
I am interested in the words and chords of the song "Passing Through" and
in chords of the songs appeared on the albums "Various Positions" and
"Death of a Laidies Man" (e.g. Hallelujah, If it be your will, True love
leave no traces, ...). I would be thankful if you can help me.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LEONARD COHEN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
