[Am] [B] [Am]
[B] [F] [Dm] [D]
[E]
[B] [Am]
[F] [Dm] I'm writing you now just to [Em] see if you're better.
[Am] New York is cold but I [F] like where I'm living.
There's [Dm] music on Clinton Street [Em] all through the evening.
[Am] Tell me you're [Bm] building your house in [Bm] the desert.
[Am]
Are you living on [G] nothing now?
Hope you're keeping some kind of record, [A] yes.
[C] Jane came by with a [A] lock of your hair.
Said you gave it to her [Am] when you planned to [Bm] go clear.
Oh, [F]
did you ever go [Em] clear?
[A] Well, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older.
[D] The famous blue [Em] raincoat, his dog at the shoulder.
[Am] You stood in the station [F] and you met every train.
But [Dm] she never showed up, I [Em] mean Lily Marlene.
[Am] She treated [Bm] some of us [Am] to a flake of [G] your life.
[Am] And when she [G] got home, [Am] she was [G] nobody's wife, yes.
[C]
See you there with a [A] rose in your [G] teeth.
One more thin [Ab] gypsy [A] it'd [Am] be.
Well, I see [Bm] Jane's awake, [G] oh.
She [F] sends her [Em]
regards.

[E] [F] [Dm]
[Em]
[Am] [Dm]
[E] [Em] Well, [Am] what can I tell you?
[F] What can I tell you?
[Dm] What can I possibly say?
[Em] [Am] I guess that I miss you.
[F] I guess I forgive you.
I'm glad that you stood in [E] my way.
[Em]
[Am] And if you ever come [Bm] by here, be it [Am] for Jane or [G] for me,
I want you [Am] to know your enemy [G] is sleeping.
I want [Am] you to know woman is [G]
free, [Am] yes.
[C] Thanks for the travel [G] you took from her eyes.
I thought it [A] was there [Am] for good.
So you never [Bm] really tried at [G] all.
[C]
Jane gave mine [D] with a mark of your [G] hair.
Said you gave it [Am] to her that night when you planned to [Bm] go clean.
[G] Oh,
[F] silly friend.
