Leonard Cohen "Feels So Good" Guitar Chords and Lyrics

I can hardly believe that I'm typing this, but I have just worked out chords and lyrics for a NEW song by the 74-years-young legend that is Leonard Cohen!

Leonard Cohen's music has been a part of my life since I was a curious teenager, swimming through the oceans of bland music in search of a few islands of hope and joy. I was fortunate enough to discover 'Songs from a Room', and have been a huge fan since. This is a very humble tribute to Leonard Cohen, but you get the picture.

I was unfortunate not to be able to catch him live on his 2009 tour, but the DVD of the London performance has provided me with over 2 and a half hours of spiritual renewal and uplift many, many times.

"Feels so Good" doesn't seem to have featured on that tour, but is now one of the songs Leonard plays as he tours yet again in 2010. To still be writing songs, and indeed undertaking arduous tours, at the time other men of his age have settled for the TV remote, is an indication of the passion and the creativity of the man.

While this is by no means Leonard's best work, it fits in so well with the whole 'vibe' of his recent tours, and has some wonderful wry lyrics - "Cup of coffee in the kitchen, fire up a little danger to my health"...

I'm delighted to be adding to my store of Cohen song chords again, I've posted this one to the link below:

You might enjoy playing along with the song above, or on Youtube at Leonard Cohen - "Feels So Good" live in Chicago . To the best of my knowledge the song hasn't appeared on a studio album as yet, but there are a number of live versions available on YouTube.

Leonard Cohen - Democracy chords & lyrics

I wasn't fortunate enough to catch Leonard Cohen on his recent European tour, but watched a one hour extract on BBC TV from the London performance. At 74 years of age, he has lost nothing of his stage presence, and still has the voice of a Holy Man. Considering he has over 40 years of back-catalogue to choose from, I thought the song selections were spot-on, from Suzanne thru the best songs from "Various Positions" and "I'm Your Man" to his more recent works.

I was already conscious that I hadn't added to my own collections of Cohen chords and lyrics for some time, so I've worked out the chords to "Democracy" from the 1992 "The Future" album, and posted them to my Leonard Cohen songs page, at the link below:

Leonard Cohen - A Singer Must Die

I'm conscious that I've been neglecting to include older songs of late, trying to keep up with the best in current rock and pop artists and songs.

The intention was always to try and create a balance, and add a good mix of songs each month, old, new, rock bands, singer-songwriters etc.

So I've delved into my CD archives and found a great Leonard Cohen song I had neglected to add - 'A Singer must die' from the 'New Skin for the Old Ceremony' album ( c. 1974 )

I've added it to my Leonard Cohen Song Chords page ( unsurprisingly! ). It's a great song to play, great lyrics and I've enjoyed rediscovering it immensely. I hope you will too! Check it out at the link below
