PASSING THROUGH

LEONARD COHEN

Key:

I saw Jesus on the cross on a hill called Calvary

"Do you h ate mankind for what they done to y ou ?"

He said, " Talk of love not hate, things to d o - it's getting late.

I've so l ittle time and I'm on ly passing thro ugh."

Passing through, passing through.

Sometimes happy, sometimes b lue,

glad that I ran into you.

Tell the p eople that you sa w me passing thro ugh.

I saw A dam leave the Garden with an ap ple in his hand,

I said " Now you're out, what are you going to do ?"

"Plant some c rops and pray for rain, maybe ra ise a little cane.

I'm an or phan now, and I'm on ly passing thro ugh."

Passing through, passing through ...

I was with W ashington at Valley Ford, sh ivering in the snow.

I said, "H ow come the men here suffer like they do ?"

"Men will s uffer, men will fight, even di e for what is right

even th ough they know they're on ly passing thro ugh"

Passing through, passing through ...

I was with F ranklin Roosevelt's side on the ni ght before he died.

He said, " One world must come out of World War T wo" (ah, the fool)

"Yankee, R ussian, white or tan," he said, "A man is still a man.

We're all o n one road, and we're on ly passing thro ugh."

Passing through, passing through ...
