Hi everybody,

I'm a Leonard Cohen fan since 20 years now and I started learning playing guitar to play his songs. I would like to learn one of my all-time favorite songs from his first album "The stranger song". Even though I have the tabs from one of the book I bought, I'm not sure this is the way he plays it. So I'd like to know if someone has the exact tabs Leonard Cohen play for this song ? I'd be really grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Hi Mary,

Thank you very much for your help ; I read the topic but I'm afraid I can't find my answer. But I've been confirmed that it's not that easy to play ...

You are welcome Kat999. Sorry it wasn't what you were looking for. Hopefully, someone here will give you the answer you are looking for.

This is one of my favourite, but why dose,Leonard never sing, The last year's man, or, The traitor, at his concert's. Has far as I know, he never as. I have audio tape's going back to 1971, but I have found no live recording.

Here is a live performance of Leonard singing "The Traitor" in 1975! Obviously, it is an early work-in-progress because we know The Traitor didn't find it's way onto a studio recording until 1979 with Recent Songs.
