___________________________________________ / Rufus Wainwright / / Everybody Knows / / Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (Soundtrack) / /__________________________________________/ This is one of the most fascinating lyrics I have ever read! Something is NOT right, as it should've been. And nothing like these words create a murky feeling like this. It is definitely not the most beautiful version of this song, but I love it for the whole idea of making this a tango. And Rufus does a fair job here :P Intro: | Dm | Dm | Dm | Dm | | Dm | Dm | Dm | Dm (break) | 3x Verse: ||: Dm | Dm | Bb | Bb | | Dm | Dm | Bb | Bb | | Gm | A7 | C | Dm | | Eb | A7 (break) | Dm | Dm (break) :|| 3x In the bar of Eb the whole orchestra plays this little run down to the break on A7: Eb A7 |-3---------------|-0---| |-4---------------|-2---| |-3---------------|-0---| |-1-------1-0-----|-2---| |-------------3-1-|-0---| |-----------------|-----| Chorus: ||: F | F | C | C | | Dm | C Bb | F | F :|| 3x Verse Chorus: In the second round, break on the last C, and end on a huge jazzy Dm13. LYRICS ********** Everybody knows the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor and the rich get rich That's how it goes and everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody's got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died Everybody's talking to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long stem rose and everybody knows Everybody knows that you love me baby Everybody knows that you really do Everybody knows that you've been faithful Ah, give or take a night or two Everybody knows you've been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet without your clothes and everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows That's how it goes and everybody knows Everybody knows that it's now or never Everybody knows that it's me or you Everybody knows that you live forever Ah, when you've done a line or two Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows Everybody knows that the Plague is coming Everybody knows that it's moving fast Everybody knows that the naked man and woman Are just a shining artifact of the past Everybody knows the scene is dead But there's gonna be a meter on your bed that will disclose what everybody knows And everybody knows that you're in trouble Everybody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of Calvary To the beach of Malibu Everybody knows it's coming apart Take one last look at this Sacred Heart before it blows and everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows That's how it goes and everybody knows +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Jon Sebastian Frederiksen - 6th /Juny /10 Just mail Maitinin@gmail.com with questions, comments and corrections!
