Famous Blue Raincoat

Am F it’s four in the morning , the end of december Dm7 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 Dm7 Em there’s music on clinton street all through the evening . Am Bm Am i hear that you’re building your little house Bm deep in the desert Am G you’re living for nothing now , Am G i hope you’re keeping some kind of record C G yes , and jane came by with a lock of your hair Am she said that you gave it to her Bm G that night that you planned to go clear F Em did you ever go clear? Am F ah , the last time we saw you you looked so much older Dm7 Em your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder Am F you’d been to the station to meet every train Dm7 Em and you came home without lili marlene Am Bm Am Bm and you treated my woman to a flake of your life Am G Am G and when she came back she was nobody’s wife . C G well i see you there with the rose in your teeth Am one more thin gypsy thief Bm G well i see jane’s awake F Em she sends her regards . Am F and what can i tell you my brother , my killer Dm7 Em what can i possibly say? Am F i guess that i miss you , i guess i forgive you Dm7 Em i’m glad you stood in my way . Am Bm Am Bm if you ever come by here , for jane or for me Am G Am G your enemy is sleeping , and his woman is free . C G yes , and thanks , for the trouble you took from her eyes Am Bm i thought it was there for good so i never tried . C G and jane came by with a lock of your hair Am she said that you gave it to her Bm G that night that you planned to go clear F Em sincerely , l . cohen Am F Dm7 Em
