1. 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 Bm
building your little Am
house deep in the Bm
desert
Am
You're living for G
nothing now
I Am
hope you're keeping some kind of G
record

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
R:Well I C
see you there with the rose in your G
teeth
One more thin gypsy Am
thief
Well I see Jane's Bm
awakeG
F
she sends her reEm7
gards
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

thanks, for the trouble you G

I thought it was Am
there for good so I never G
tried
