Leonard Cohen: The Partisan (La Complainte du Partisan)
(French text: Bernard, Music: Anna Marly,
English text: Hy Saret)
from the CD‘s "Songs from a room", "Greatest Hits" and
"Heart Housed in a Thorn Bush" (Live at Montreux, 1984)
the pattern I play I‘ve learned from a friend (erwin). Its easier to play,
but may be there is a certain loss of quality.
