Montreal

G, A

Bm                      A
   200 fates entwined inside the 
plane
A                              
   We watched as England dropped 
   G
away from us again
A                             Bm
   I wasn't waiting, I wasn't sure 
what I would find
A           F#m                  
   I was prepared to let it 
         G
happen on its own this time
A  Bm                       A   
      I had a feeling I was 
               F#m               G
floating into time     spent amongst
 friends
A                    Bm          
   Reintroduced from other 
            A       Em
strange and wonderful weekends
       F#m                         
As the seat belt signs announced 
  G
the fall
     A                            
I realised I'd been falling for a 
Bm
while
          A                     Em
We'd been falling for some time   
      F#m
 into Montreal

G, Bm, F, Cmaj7 (2x)

      G                        
I saw ice upon the river as the 
            Bm
plane came in to land
        F                        
I heard Joni Mitchell singin' her 
          Cmaj7
poems of isolation
    G                          
The man at immigration said his 
             Bm
friends all knew the band
  F                         
Bizarre to come so far to an 
outstretched hand and easy 
Cmaj7
conversation
        G                        
We were welcomed through arrivals 
                   Bm
without the usual transatlantic fuss
    F                              
And greeted by the fans who led us 
                     Cmaj7
to the chilly street onto the bus

    Cm             Ab           
The snow had hung around on the 
Eb                    Bb/D
corners of the vacant lots
    Cm                 Ab         
And France was singing in the air 
   Eb             Bb/D
of hi-rise North America

A                             
And as we made our way into the 
        F#m
hotel hall
    G                          
The man behind the desk broke a 
                    Dmaj7
knowing smile, and said
"Hello sir, welcome back to 
Montreal."

A, F#m, G, Dmaj7

        Em              D/F#      
We hid away for the day      in 
   G               A
our identical rooms
        Em            D/F#     
Like we usually do - another new 
              G                 A
bed, upside down in our heads

    Em            D/F#        G  
And afternoon was morning and 
            A
night was afternoon
         Em         D/F#          
Only the jet-lagged      know the 
      G             A
way I sleep tonight

Cm            Ab
Going down to breakfast
     Eb             Bb/D
What time is it now there?
        Cm           Ab

C, Bm (7/8 time) (2x)

          C
We were invited to the circus - 
guests of honour if you please
     Bm
By a girl with an eskimo name
           C
And in the cafe of the Cirque 
'Soleil we bought Easter-eggs from 
outer-space
Bm
40 different languages are spoken in
 this place
      C
And inside the steel-glass building 
I gazed up at the trapeze
    Bm                          
The building 30 metres tall - we 
                     C
watched the acrobat fall
             Bm
He was quite safe
                       C
He was falling into Montreal
           Bm
Into Montreal

Gm          C              
So up in my room I discovered 
           Eb        Bbmaj7
Leonard Cohen on TV
Gm      C                   Eb  
Live in London - ain't that 
          Bbmaj7
perfect symmetry?!
Gm            C                  
It warmed the heart to watch him 
Eb               Bbmaj7
float around the hall
Gm      C               Eb   Bbmaj7
Soaking up, reflecting, radiating
Gm        C               Eb    
Just as I would, tomorrow night 
       Bbmaj7              Gm
on the outstretched tender hands
       C             Eb    Bbmaj7
Tender hands, tender hands       
          Cm
 of Montreal
