It's
Am
four in the morning, the
F
end of December
I'm
Dm7
writing you now, just to
Em7
see if you're better
Am
New York is cold but I
F
like where I'm living
There's
Dm7
music on Clinton street
Em7
all through the evening
Am
I hear that you're
Bm7
building your little
Am
house deep in
Bm7
the desert
Am7
You're living for
G
nothing now,
I hope you're
Am7
keeping some kind of
G
record
Yes and
C
Jane came by with a lock of your
G
hair
She said that you gave it to
Am
her
That night that you planned to go
Bm7
clear
G
F
Did you ever go
Em7
clear
Am7
F
Dm7
Em7
The
Am
last time we saw you, you
F
looked so much older
Your
Dm7
famous blue raincoat was
Em7
torn at the shoulder
You
Am
been to the station to
F
meet every train
You
Dm7
came home without
Em7
Lily Marlene
Am
And you treated my
Bm7
woman
Am
to a flake of your
Bm7
life
Am7
And when she came
G
back,
Am7
she was nobody's
G
wife
Well, I
C
see you there with a rose in your
G
teeth
One more thin gipsy
Am
thief
Well, I see Jane's a
Bm7
wake
G
F
She sends her re
Em7
gards
Am7
F
Dm7
Em7
And
Am
what can I tell you my
F
brother, my killer
Dm7
What can I possibly
Em7
say
I
Am
guess that I miss you, I
F
guess I forgive you
I'm
Dm7
glad you stood in my
Em7
way
Am
If you ever come
Bm7
by here
Am
for Jane or for
Bm7
me
Am7
Well, your enemy's
G
sleeping
Am7
and his woman is
G
free
Yes,
C
thanks for the trouble you
G
took from her eyes
I thought it was
Am7
there for good so I never
Bm7
tried
G
And
C
Jane came by with a lock of your
G
hair
She said that you gave it to
Am7
her
That night that you planned to go
Bm7
clear
G
F
Sincerely, L.
