[G] [E]
[Em] [F#m]
[Bm] It's four in the morning,
[G] the end of December.
[Em] I'm writing you now just to [F#m] see if you're better.
[Bm] New York is cold, but I [G] like where I'm living.
[Em] There's music on Clinton Street [F#m] all through the evening.
[Bm] And I hear that [C#m] you're building your [Bm] little house
deep [C#m] in the desert.
[Bm] You're living [A] for nothing now.
I [Bm] hope you're keeping some kind [A] of record.
Yes.
[D] Jane came by with the lock of [A] your hand.
She said that [E] you gave [D] it to her [Bm]
that night
that you planned [C#m] to go clear.
[A]
[G] Did you ever go [F#m] clear?
[Bm] Oh, the last time I saw you, [G] you looked so much older.
[E] Your famous blue raincoat [F#m] was torn at the shoulder.
[Bm] You'd been to the station [G] to meet every train.
[Em] You came back [F#] without Lily, my [A] lady.
[B] And you treated [Bm] my [C#m] woman to [Bm] a flank of your [C#m] life.
[Bm] When she [A] came back,
[Bm] she was
[A] nobody's wife.
Well, [D] I see you there with a rose [A] in your teeth.
[E] One more [C#] thin [Bm] gypsy.
Now I see [C#m] Jane's away.
[A]
[G] She sends her [F#m] regards.
[Bm] And what can I tell you, [G] my brother, my killer?
[E] What can I [Em] possibly say?
[F#m]
[Bm] Well, I guess that I miss you.
[G] I guess I forgive you.
[Em] I'm glad you stood in [F#] my [F#m] way.
[A]
[Bm] But if you ever [C#m] come by here for
[Bm] Jane or [C#m] for me,
[Bm] well, your enemy [A] is sleeping now.
[D] [Bm] And his woman [A] is free.
Yes, [D] and thanks for the trouble [A] you took from her eyes.
[E] I thought it was [F#] there [Bm] for good.
So I never [C#m] tried.
[A]
[D] When Jane came by with the lock of [A] your hair,
she said [A#] that you gave [Bm] it to her that night that you planned
to go [C#m] clear.
