Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen

      Lam                       Fa 
It's four in the morning, the end of December
Rém                                   Mim
   I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
Lam                           Fa
New-York is cold, but I like where I'm living
           Rém                                Mim
There's music on Clinton Street all through evening
  Lam                      Sim7  
I hear you're building your little house
Lam                     Sim7
deep in the desert
                    Sol(2)
  You're living for nothing now
  Lam7                                        Sol
I hope you're keeping some kind of record
                 Do(2)                                      Sol(2)
   Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
                                        Lam7(2)
She said that you gave it to her
                                                Sim7(2)
That night that you planned to go clear
Fa                      Mim7
  Did you ever go clear ?

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

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake she sends her regards

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
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Sincerely, L Cohen
