_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] _
_ _ _ It's [Am] four in the morning, [F] the end of December. _
[D] _ [Dm] I'm writing you now just [E] to [Em] see if you're better.
_ [Am] New York is cold, [F] but I like where I'm living.
_ [D] There's music on Clinton [E] Street all [Em] through the evening. _
[A] _ [Am] I hear that [Bm] you're building your little [Am] house _ deep [Bm] in the desert.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] You're living [G] for nothing now.
I hope [Am] you're keeping some [G] kind of record. _ _
Yes, [C] Jane _ came [Am] by with a lock [C] of [G] your hair. _
_ She said that you gave it [Am] to her _ _ that night that you planned to [Bm] go clear.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ Did you ever go [E] clear?
[Em] _ _ _ Oh, [Am] the last time we saw you, [F] you looked so much older.
[D] Your [Dm] famous blue raincoat [Em] was taut at the shoulder.
_ [Am] You'd been to the station to [F] meet every train. _
[D] _ You came home with [E] a lily [Em]
marlin.
And [Am] you treated _ _ my [Bm] woman _ _ [Am] to a flake _ of [Bm] your life.
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ And when she came [G] back, _
_ _ [A] _ [Am] she was _ [G] nobody's wife.
Well, [C] I see _ you _ [Am] there with a rose [C] in [G] your teeth.
_ _ _ _ One more [Em] thin gypsy [Am] _ thief. _ _ _
Well, I see [Bm] Jane's away. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
She sends [E] her [Em] regards. _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ [E] _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[Am] And what can I tell you, [F] my brother, my killer?
[D] _ What can I [E] possibly say?
[Em] _ _ I [Am] guess that I miss you.
_ [F] I guess I forgive you.
[D] _
I'm glad you stood in [E] my way.
_ _ [Em] _
_ [Am] _ If you ever [Bm] come by here _ _ [Am] _ for Jane or [Bm] for me,
_ _ _ [Am] _ well, your enemy [G] is sleepy and _ [Am] _
his woman [G] is free. _
Yeah, [C] thank for _ _ _ the trouble you [G] took _ from her eyes.
I thought it [Am] was there _ _ for good, so I never [Bm]
tried.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] And Jane _ came by with a lock of [G] your hair. _
_ She said that you gave it [Am] to her _ _ that night that you planned to go [Bm] clear.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Sincerely, [E] Alcorn.
