Standard (EADGBE)
It's four in the morning, t he end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I l ike where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
I hear that you're building your little house deep in the deser t
You're living for not hing now
I hope you're keeping some kind of r ecord
CHORUS #1:
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
S he said that you gave it to her
That n ight that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear ?
A h, 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
CHORUS #2:
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
O ne 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
CHORUS #3:
Yes, and thanks, for the trou ble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for g ood so I never tried
And Jane came by with a lock of you r hair
S he said that you gave it to her
That n ight that you planned to go clear
Sincerely, L Cohe n
