Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
Come [G]over to the window, my little [Am]darling
[C]I'd like to try to read you[G]r palm
[F]I used to think
I was some kind [C]of Gypsy boy
[Em]Before I let you
take me [D]home

[Chorus 1]
Now [G]so long, Marianne
[Em]It's time that we began to laugh[D]
And cry and cry and laugh
about it [G]all again
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 2]
Well, you [G]know that I love to [Am]live with you
[C]But you make me forget so very muc[G]h
[F]I forget to pray for the ang[C]els
And then the [Em]angels
forget to pray for [D]us

[Chorus 2]
Now [G]so long, Marianne
[Em]It's time that we began to laugh[D]
And cry and cry and laugh
about it [G]all again
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 3]
We [G]met when we were [Am]almost young
[C]Deep in the green lilac par[G]k
[F]You held on to me like I was a cru[C]cifix
[Em]As we went kneeling
through the [D]dark

[Chorus 3]
Oh, [G]so long, Marianne
[Em]It's time that we began to laugh[D]
And cry and cry and laugh
about it [G]all again
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 4]
Your [G]letters, they all say
that you're be[Am]side me now
[C]Then why do I feel alo[G]ne?
[F]I'm standing on a ledge
and your [C]fine spider web
Is [Em]fastening my ankle
to a [D]stone

[Chorus 4]
Now [G]so long, Marianne
[Em]It's time that we began to laugh[D]
And cry and cry and laugh
about it [G]all again
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 5]
For [G]now I need [Am]your hidden love
[C]I'm cold as a new razorbla[G]de
[F]You left when I told you I was cur[C]ious
[Em]I never said
that I was [D]brave

[Chorus 5]
Oh, [G]so long, Marianne
[Em]It's time that we began to laugh[D]
And cry and cry and laugh
about it [G]all again
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 6]
[G]Oh, you are really such [Am]a pretty one
[C]I see you've gone and
changed [G]your name again
[F]And just when I climbed
this whole [C]mountainside
[Em]To wash my eye- [D]lids in the rain

[Chorus 6]
Oh, [G]so long, Marianne
[Em]It's time that we began to laugh[D]
And cry and cry and laugh
about it [G]all again
[G][G][G][G]
