Am Am                             F F
It's four in the morning, the end of December
Dm7 Dm7 Em Em
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
Am Am F F
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
Dm7 Dm7 Em Em
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
Am Am Bm Bm Am Am
I hear that you're building your little house
Bm Bm
deep in the desert
Am Am G G
You're living for nothing now,
Am Am G G
I hope you're keeping some kind of record

C C G G
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Am Am
She said that you gave it to her
Bm Bm G G
That night that you planned to go clear
F F Em Em
Did you ever go clear?

Am Am F F
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Dm7 Dm7 Em Em
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Am Am F F
You'd been to the station to meet every train
Dm7 Dm7 Em Em
And you came home without Lili Marlene


Am Am Bm Bm Am Am Bm Bm
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
Am Am G G Am Am G G
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.


C C G G
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
Am Am
One more thin gypsy thief
Bm Bm G G
Well I see Jane's awake
F F Em Em
She sends her regards.

Am Am F F
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
Dm7 Dm7 Em Em
What can I possibly say?
Am Am F F
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
Dm7 Dm7 Em Em
I'm glad you stood in my way.

Am Am Bm Bm Am Am Bm Bm
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Am Am G G Am Am G G
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

C C G G
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
Am Am Bm Bm
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

C C G G
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Am Am
She said that you gave it to her
Bm Bm G G
That night that you planned to go clear
F F Em Em
Sincerely, L. Cohen


Am Am F F Dm7 Dm7 Em Em
