Am7 Am7 F F
It's four in the morning, the end of December
Dm Dm Em7 Em7
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
Am7 Am7 F F
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
Dm Dm Em7 Em7
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening


Am7 Am7 Bm7 Bm7 Am7 Am7 Bm7 Bm7
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
Am7 Am7 G G Am7 Am7 G G
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record


C C G G
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Am7 Am7
She said that you gave it to her
Bm7 Bm7 G G
That night that you planned to go clear
F F Em7 Em7
Did you ever go clear?


Am7 Am7 F F
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Dm Dm Em7 Em7
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Am7 Am7 F F
You'd been to the station to meet every train
Dm Dm Em7 Em7
And you came home without Lili Marlene


Am7 Am7 Bm7 Bm7 Am7 Am7 Bm7 Bm7
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
Am7 Am7 G G Am7 Am7 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
Am7 Am7
One more thin gypsy thief
Bm7 Bm7 G G
Well I see Jane's awake
F F Em7 Em7
She sends her regards


Am7 Am7 F F Dm Dm Em7 Em7


Am7 Am7 F F
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
Dm Dm Em7 Em7
What can I possibly say?
Am7 Am7 F F
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
Dm Dm Em7 Em7
I'm glad you stood in my way


Am7 Am7 Bm7 Bm7 Am7 Am7 Bm Bm
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Am7 Am7 G G Am7 Am7 G G
Well your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free


C C G G
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
Am7 Am7
I thought it was there for good
Bm7 Bm7 G G
So I never tried


C C G G
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
Am7 Am7
She said that you gave it to her
Bm7 Bm7 G G
That night that you planned to go clear
F F Em7 Em7
Sincerely, L. Cohen


Am7 Am7 F F Dm Dm Em7 Em7
