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