Famous Blue Raincoat Leonard Cohen
VERSE 1
It's f[Am]our in the morning, the e[F]nd of December
I'm wr[Dm7]iting you now just to [Em7]see if you're better
[Am]New York is cold, but I l[F]ike where I'm living
There's [Dm7]music on Clinton Street [Em7]all through the evening
[Am]I hear that you're b[Bm]uilding your little h[Am]ouse deep in the d[Bm]esert
[Am]You're living for n[G]othing now; I hope you're k[Am]eeping some kind of r[G]ecord
CHORUS 1
Yes, and Ja[C]ne came by with a lock of your h[G]air
She said that you gave it to [Am]her
That night that you planned to go cl[Bm]ear[G]
[F]Did you ever go cle[Em7]ar?
VERSE 2
Ah, the [Am]last time we saw you you [F]looked so much older
Your f[Dm7]amous blue raincoat was [Em7]torn at the shoulder
You'd [Am]been to the station to [F]meet every train
[Dm7]And you came home without [Em7]Lili Marlene
And you [Am]treated my [Bm]woman to a [Am]flake of your [Bm]life
[Am]And when she came [G]back s[Am]he was nobody's [G]wife
CHORUS 2
Well I se[C]e you there with the rose in your te[G]eth
One more thin gypsy th[Am]ief
Well I see Jane's aw[Bm]ake [G] [F]she sends her re[Em7]gards
VERSE 3
And w[Am]hat can I tell you my b[F]rother, my killer
[Dm7]What can I possibly [Em7]say?
I [Am]guess that I miss you, I [F]guess I forgive you
[Dm7]I'm glad you stood in my [Em7]way
I[Am]f you ever come [Bm]by here,[Am] for Jane or for [Bm]me
W[Am]ell, your enemy is [G]sleeping,[Am] and his woman is [G]free
CHORUS 3
Yes, and [C]thanks, for the trouble you [G]took from her eyes
I thought it was th[Am]ere for good so I never tr[G]ied
And Ja[C]ne came by with a lock of your ha[G]ir
She said that you gave it to h[Am]er
That night that you planned to go cle[Bm]ar[G]
S[F]incerely, L Coh[Em7]en
