Guitar Chords

    A minorAm            FF
It's four in the morning, the end of December
   Dm7Dm7          E minor 7Em7
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
  A minorAm           FF
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
     Dm7Dm7          E minor 7Em7
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
 A minorAm         B minorBm          A minorAm        B minorBm
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
 A minorAm         G+G
You're living for nothing now
  A minorAm                G+G
I hope you're keeping some kind of record

CHORUS #1:
      C majorC                G+G
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
               A minorAm
She said that you gave it to her
                  B minorBm G+G
That night that you planned to go clear
FF         E minor 7Em7
Did you ever go clear?

     A minorAm
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife

CHORUS #2:
     C majorC                  G+G
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
           A minorAm
One more thin gypsy thief
          B minorBm G+G FF        E minor 7Em7
Well I see Jane's awake  she sends her regards

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free

CHORUS #3:
      C majorC             G+G
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
          A minorAm            G+G
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
   C majorC                G+G
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
               A minorAm
She said that you gave it to her
                   B minorBm G+G
That night that you planned to go clear
 FF        E minor 7Em7
Sincerely, L Cohen
