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
