If It Be Your Will

Leonard Cohen


Tom: E

 Intro:  B

    E              F#m  D                C#m
     If it be your will, that I speak no more
    E                 F#m  A             E
     And my voice be still, as it was before
  C#m                 B       C#m           B
     I will speak no more, I shall abide until
    A             E          B
     I am spoken for, if it be your will
    E              F#m  D                C#m
     If it be your will, that a voice be true
    E                 F#m  A                E
     From this broken hill, I will sing to you
  C#m                  B              C#m                B
     From this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring
    A               E        B
     If it be your will, to let me sing

    ( E  F#m  D  C#m )
    ( E  F#m  A  E )

  C#m                  B              C#m                B
     From this broken hill, all your praises they shall ring
    A               E        B
     If it be your will, to let me sing
    E              F#m  D               C#m
     If it be your will, if there is a choice
    E               F#m  A                  E
     Let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice
  C#m                 B                 C#m                B
     Let your mercy spill, on all these burning hearts in hell
    A               E        B
     If it be your will, to make us well
    E            F#m  D             C#m
     And draw us near, and bind us tight
    E                  F#m  A                   E
     All your children here, in their rags of light
  C#m                 B  C#m                B
     In our rags of light,  all dressed to kill
    A               E           B                           E
     And end this night, if it be your will, if it be your will
