[Dm][Dm][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
It's [Am]four in the morning, the [F]end of December
[Dm]I'm writing you now
just to [Em]see if you feel better
[Am]New York is cold,
but [F]I like where I'm living
[Dm]There's music on Clinton Street
[Em]all through the evening

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]I hear that you're build[Bm]ing
your little [Am]house deep in the [Bm]desert
[Am]You're living for noth[G]ing now,
I hope you're [Am]keeping some kind of [G]record

[Chorus 1]
Yes, and [C]Jane came by with a lock of your [G]hair
She said that you gave it to [Am]her
That night that you planned to go [Bm]clear[G]
[F]Did you ever go cle[Em]ar?

[Verse 2]
Ah, the [Am]last time we saw you
you [F]looked so much older
[Dm]Your famous blue raincoat
was [Em]torn at the shoulder
You'd [Am]been to the station
to [F]meet every train, and
[Dm]You came home without
[Em]Lili Marlene

[Pre-chorus 2]
And you [Am]treated my [Bm]woman
to a [Am]flake of your [Bm]life
[Am]And when she came back[G]
[Am]she was nobody's wife[G]

[Chorus 2]
Well I [C]see you there with the rose in your [G]teeth
One more thin [Am]gypsy thief
Well, I see Jane's a[Bm]wake[G]
[F]She sends her regar[Em]ds

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Am][F][F]
[Dm][Dm][Em][Em]

[Verse 3]
And [Am]what can I tell you
my [F]brother, my killer
[Dm]What can I possibly say?[Em]
I [Am]guess that I miss you,
[F]I guess I forgive you
[Dm]I'm glad you stood in my way[Em]

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Am]If you ever come by he[Bm]re,
[Am]for Jane or for me[Bm]
[Am]Well, your enemy is slee[G]ping,
[Am]and his woman is free[G]

[Chorus 3]
Yes, and [C]thanks,
for the trouble you [G]took from her eyes
I thought it was [Am]there
for good so I never [Bm]tried[G]

[Chorus 4]
And [C]Jane came by with a lock of your [G]hair
She said that you gave it to [Am]her
That night that you planned to go [Bm]clear[G]
[F]Sincerely, L Coh[Em]en
