Blue Raincoat

Am   F   Am

[Verse 1]
                              F
It's four in the morning, the end of
 December
Dm7                         Em
I'm writing you now just to see if 
you're better
Am                      F
New York is cold, but I like where 
I'm living
        Dm7                     Em
There's music on Clinton Street all 
through the evening
Am                 Bm            
I hear that you're building your 
       Am           Bm
little house in the desert
Am                G           Am
You're living for nothing now, I
 hope you're keeping some kind of 
G
record


[Chorus]
         C                         
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock 
       G
of your hair
             E7         Am
She said you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go 
Bm     G
clear
F               Em      Am   G
Did you ever go clear?

    Am                        F
The last time we saw you, you looked
 so much older
Dm7                           Em
Your famous blue raincoat was torn 
at the shoulder
Am                           F
You'd been to the station to meet 
every train
Dm7                        Em
Then you came home without Lili 
Marlene
        Am         Bm         Am 
And you treated my woman to a 
           Bm
flake of your life
Am                G    Am       
And when she came home, she was 
         G
nobody's wife


[Chorus]
       C                           
Yes, I see you there with the rose 
        G
in your teeth
              E7    Am
One more thin gypsy thief
                    Bm    G
Well, I see Jane's awake
F               Em      Am   G
She sends her regards


[Verse 3]
    Am                     F
And what can I tell you my brother, 
my killer
Dm7                 Em
What can I possibly say?
  Am                       F
I guess that I miss you, I guess I 
forgive you
Dm7                           Em
I'm glad that you stood in my way
Am               Bm           Am
If you ever come by here, for 
          Bm
Jane or for me
Am                  G        Am 
Well, your enemy is sleeping, 
               G
and his woman is free


[Chorus]
         C                         
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble 
  G
you took from her eyes
E7               Am              
I thought it was there for good, 
           G
so I never tried
         C                         
Yes, and Jane came by with a lock 
       G
of your hair
                  E7         Am
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you meant to go 
Bm     Am  G
clear
F               Em
Sincerely, L  Cohen
