(D minor) (Esus4) (E major)
Verse 1
It's four (A minor) in the morning,
the (F major) end of December
I'm (D minor) writing you now
just to see (A minor) if (E major) (A minor) you're better
New York is fine,
I (F major) like where I'm living
There's (D minor) music on Clinton Street
all (Esus4) (E major) through the evening (Esus4)
(A minor) I hear that you're
(G major) building your house (A minor)
deep in the deser (G major) t
(A minor) Are you living for noth (G major) ing now?
I hope you're (A minor) keeping
some kind of re (G major) cord
And (C major) Jane came by
with a lock of your (G major) hair
She said that you gave it to her (A minor)
That night when you planned to go (G major) clear,
did (F major) you ever go clear? (Esus4) (E major)
Ah, (A minor) the last time I saw you,
you (F major) looked so much older
Your (D minor) fam ous blue raincoat
was (Esus4) torn at the (E major) shoulder
You'd (A minor) been to the station
to (F major) meet every train
But she (D minor) nev er turned up,
I mean, (E major) Lily Marlain
Saw (A minor) you treated, my wo (G major) man
With a (A minor) flake of your life (G major)
(A minor) And when she came (G major) home
She (A minor) was nobody's (G major) wife
I (C major) see you there
with a rose in your (G major) teeth
One more thin gypsy thief (A minor)
I see Jane's awake (G major)
She (F major) sends her re (Esus4) gards (E major)
What (A minor) can I tell you,
my brother (F major) , my killer
What (D minor) can I possibly say (Esus4)
I (E major) guess (A minor) I forgive you,
I (F major) guess that I miss you
I'm (D minor) glad that you stood in my (E major) way
(A minor) And if you ever come (G major) by here,
be it for (A minor) Jane or for me
(G major) I want you to know
(A minor) your enemy is sleeping
(G major) And I want you to (A minor) know
that your woman is (G major) free
And thanks (C major) for the trouble
you took (G major) from her eyes
I thought it was (A minor) there for good,
so I never really tried
(G major) And (C major) the chain came by
with the lock of your (G major) hair
She said that you gave it to her, (A minor)
that night when you planned to go (G major) clear,
did (F major) you ever go clear? (E major)
Thanks everybody. Good night. You
