[E] [Am] It's four in the morning, [F] the end of December
[Dm] I'm writing you now just [Em] to see if you're better
[Am] [A] New York is cold, [F] but I like where I'm living
There's [Dm]
music on Clinton [Em] Street all through the evening
[Am] I hear that [Bm] you're building [Am] your house deep [Bm] in the desert
[Am] [A]
Are you living for [G] nothing now?
Hope you're [Am] keeping some kind of [G] record
Yes, [C] and Jane came by with a lock of your [G] hair
She said that you gave it to [Am] her
That night when you [A] planned to [Bm] go clear
Did [G]
[F]
you ever go [Em] clear?
Ah, [A] the last [Am]
time we [B] saw ya, [F] you looked so much [Am] older
Your [Dm] famous blue raincoat [E] was torn [Em]
at the shoulder
[Am] You'd been to the station, [F] you'd meet every train
But [Dm] she never turned up, I mean [E] [Em] Lily Marlene
So [Am] you treated some [Bm]
woman to [Am] a flake of your [Bm]
life
[A]
And when she got [G] home, [Am] [A]
she was [G] nobody's wife
Well, [C] I see you there with arrows in your [G]
teeth
One more thin gypsy [Am]
thief
Well, I see [Bm] Jane's away
[G]
She [F]
sends her [Em]
regards
[C] [A]

[Am] And what can I tell you?
[F] Oh, what can I tell you?
[Dm] What can I possibly [E] [Em] say?
[Am] I guess that I miss you, [F] I guess I forgive you
[Dm] I'm glad that you stood in [Em] my way
[A]
[Am] And if you ever [Bm] come by here, be [Am] it for Jane or [Bm] for me
I want [A] you to know your [Am] enemy [G] is sleeping
[D] I [Am] want you to know your woman [G] is free
[D] [C] And thanks for the trouble [G] you took from her eyes
I thought [F] it [Am] was there for good, so I never [Bm] really tried
[G]
[C] And Jane came by with hair like [G] your hair
She said that you gave it [Am] to her
That night when you planned to [Bm] go clear
[G]
[F] Sincerely, a [E] friend
