Lyrics

If you want a (Em)lo ver, I’ll do an y thing you (D)ask me to.

(CN.C.)And if you want an (Em)oth er kind of love,

I’ll wear a (D)mask for you.

If you want a (Bm)part ner, take my hand, or if you want to (G)strike me down in an ger,

here I stand.

I’m your (Bm)man.

If you want a (E)bo xer, I will step in to the (D)ring for you.

(CN.C.)And if you want a (E)doc tor, I’ll ex am ine ev ’ry (D)inch of you.

If you want a (Bm)dri ver, climb in side.

Or if you want to (G)take me for a ride,

I’m your (Bm)man.

Ah, the (D)moon’s too bright, the (G)chain’s too tight, the (A)beast won’t go to sleep.

I’ve been (F#m)run ning through these pro mi ses to you that I (Bm)made and I could not keep.

About “I'm Your Man”

Why does the accompaniment for "I'm Your Man" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "I'm Your Man" by Leonard Cohen in?
The backing track is in B at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "I'm Your Man" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "I'm Your Man"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "I'm Your Man", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "I'm Your Man" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "I'm Your Man"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.

Other accompaniments by Leonard Cohen: "Almost Like The Blues", "Anthem", "Bird On A Wire". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
Can I use "I'm Your Man" as a backing track for singing?
Yes — this is the piano accompaniment for I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen, with the chord notes falling visually so you can see exactly when each chord lands. Original key is B; transpose live to fit your voice.
How is this different from the bar-sheet accompaniment?
Same audio backing — different visualization. Falling notes show each chord note dropping in real time (like Synthesia), which makes the chord rhythm easier to feel. Use whichever view helps you stay on the beat.
