Leonard Cohen: Famous Blue Raincoat =================================== Am F 1. It's four in the morning, the end of December Dm7 Em7 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 Em7 There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening Am Bm Am Bm I hear that you're building your little house 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 R: 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 Em7 Did you ever go clear? 2. Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder You'd been to the station to meet every train And you came home without Lili Marlene And you treated my woman to a flake of your life And when she came back she was nobody's wife C G R: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 Em7 she sends her regards C#mol And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you I'm glad you stood in my way If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free C G R: Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes Am G 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 Em7 Sincerely, L. Cohen
