[Em]
It's [Am] four in the morning, [F] the end of December [D] I'm [Dm]
writing you now just to [Em] see if you're
better [Am] New York is cold but I [F] like where I'm living
The [D] [Dm] music on Clinton [E] Street [Em] all through the evening
[A] [Am] I hear that [Bm] you're building your [Am] little house deep [Bm] in the desert
You're [Am]
living [G] for nothing now I [Am] hope you're keeping some kind [G] of record
Yes, [C] Jane came [Am] by with a lock of [Em] your [G] hair
She said that you gave it [Am] to her that night that you planned to go [Em] clear
[Bm]
Did [G]
[F] you ever [Am] go [E] clear?
[Em] [E]
[G] [A] Oh, the [Am] last time we saw you, [F] you looked so much older
[Dm] Your famous blue raincoat [Em] was taut at the shoulder
[Am] You'd been to the station [F] to meet every train
[D] You came home [E] without [Em] Lily and me
[A] And you treated [Am]
my [Bm] woman to [Am] a flake of [Bm] your life
[Am]
When she [G] came back,
[A] [Am] she was [G] nobody's wife
Well, [C] I see you there with a rose in [G] your teeth
One more thin gypsy [Am] thief
Well, I see [Bm] Jane's away,
[G]

[G] [Am]

[D] [Dm]
[E] [Em]
[Am] And what can I tell you, [F] my brother, my killer?
[D] What can I possibly [E] say?
[Em]
[Am] I 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 for Jane or for [Bm] me
[Am] Well, your enemy [G] is sleeping and [Am]
his woman [G] is free
Yes, [C]
thanks for the trouble you [G] took from her eyes
I thought it was [Am] there for good, so I never [Bm] would try
[G]
[C] And Jane came by with a lock of your [G] hair
She said that you gave it to [Am] her
That night that you planned to [Bm] go clear
