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