[Em]
[F#m] [A] [Bm]
[G]
[F#m]
It's [Bm] four in the morning, [G]
the end of December.
[Em] I write you now just to see if you're [F#m] any better.
[Bm] New York is cold, [G] but I like where I'm living.
[Em] There's music on Clinton [F#m] Street all through the evening.
[Bm]
I hear that you're [A] building your little [Bm] house deep [C#m] in the desert.
[Bm]
Ah, you're living for nothing [A] now.
I do [Bm] hope that you're keeping some [A] kind of record.
Yeah.
[D]
She's by with her [Em] lock of [A] your hair.
She said that you [A#] gave it [Bm] to her.
Red light, make a plan, [C#m] go clean.
[E] [A] [B] [G]
Did you ever go clear?
[F#m]
Now [Bm] the last time they saw you, [G] you looked so much older.
[Em] Your famous blue raincoat [F#m] mustache.
[Bm] You'd been to the station [G] to meet every train, yeah.
[Em] Then you came home with [F#m] a lily-molly.
You [Bm] treated [C#m] my woman to [Bm] a little fleek of [C#m] your life.
[Bm] And when she [A] came back, I guess you knew [Bm] she was [A] nobody's wife.
[C#m] I [D] see you there with [Bm] a rose in [A] your teeth.
One more thing, [A#] gypsy.
[Bm]
Will I see James [C#m] away?
[B] [A]
[B] [G] She sends her [F#m] regards.
[A] [Bm]
[G] [Em]

[C#m] [Bm]
[A] [G]
[F#m]
[Bm] And what can I tell you?
[G]
My brother, my [Em] killer.
What can I possibly [F#m] say?
[Bm] Guess I miss her.
[G] Guess I forgive [Em] you.
I'm glad you stood in my [F#m] way.
[Bm] If you ever come [C#m] by here, be it for [Bm] James, be it for [C#m] me.
I [Bm] want you to know that your enemy is [A] sleeping.
I want you to [Bm] know that his woman [A] is dreaming.
[D] Thank you for the trouble you [A] took from her eyes.
You see, I thought it was there for [Bm]
good.
So I never really [C#m] cried.
[A] I [B] am [D]
deep in love with the love from [A] your hands.
She says that you [A#] gave me [Bm] nothing.
That night that you [G] played with the [C#m] old green.
[B] [A] [B]
[G] Sincerely, Elkhorn
[F#m] [N]
