Am

Verse 1:
      Am                       F
It's four in the morning, the end of December
Dm                           Em
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
       Dm                       Em
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening

Pre-Chorus 1:
Am                    Bm
And I hear that you're building
         Am                Bm
Your little house deep in the desert
Am                 G
You're living for nothing
              Am                    G
I hope you're keeping some kind of record

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

Verse 2:
     Am                        F
The last time I saw you, you looked so much older
    Dm                        Em
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
     Am                       F
You'd been to the station to meet every train
 Dm                       Em
But you came home without Lili Marlene

Pre-Chorus 2:
        Am         Bm          Am            Bm
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
Am                 Bm            Am       G
And when she came back, she was nobody's wife

Chorus:
         C                                  G
Well, I see you there with a rose in your teeth
                     Am
One more thin gypsy thief
                    Bm
Yes, I see Jane's awake

Verse 3:
     Am                     F
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer?
Dm                   Em
What can I possibly say?
  Am                      F
I guess I forgive you, I guess that I miss you
Dm                          Em
And I'm glad you stood in my way

Pre-Chorus 3:
Am                 Bm         Am            Bm
If you ever come by here for Jane or for me
Am               Bm    Am                  G
Your enemy is sleeping and this woman is free

Chorus:
         C                                         G
Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
                   Am                            Bm
Yes, it was there for good, guess that I never tried
          C                                G
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
                              Am
She said that you gave it to her
                                    Bm
That night that you planned to go clear
