Am F Dm7 Em7
Am F Dm7 Em7
[Verse 1]
Am F It's four in the morning, the end of December Dm7 Em7 I'm writing you now just to see if you're better Am F New York is cold, but I like where I'm living Dm7 Em7 There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening Am Bm Am Bm I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert Am G Am G You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record
[Chorus 1]
C C G Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair G Am Am Bm G She said that you gave it to her that night that you planned to go clear F Em7 Did you ever go clear?
[Verse 2]
Am F Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older Dm7 Em7 Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder Am F You'd been to the station to meet every train Dm7 Em7 And you came home without Lili Marlene Am Bm Am Bm And you treated my woman to a flake of your life Am G Am G And when she came back, she was nobody's wife
[Chorus 2]
C C G G Well, I see you there with the rose in your teeth Am Am Bm G One more thin gypsy thief, well, I see Jane's awake F Em7 She sends her regards
[Verse 3]
Am F And what can I tell you my brother, my killer? Dm7 Em7 What can I possibly say? Am F I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you Dm7 Em7 I'm glad you stood in my way Am Bm Am Bm If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me Am G Am G Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free
[Chorus 3]
C C G G Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes Am Am Bm G I thought it was there for good, so I never tried C C G And Jane came by with a lock of your hair G Am Am Bm G She said that you gave it to her that night that you planned to go clear F Em7 Sincerely, L. Cohen
