_ _ _ _ [Am] It's four in the morning, _ [F] the end of _ December _ [D] _ I'm [Dm] _ writing you now just [E] to [Em] see if you're
better _ _ [Am] New York is cold but [F] I _ like where I'm living
_ [D] The _
[Dm] music on Clinton [E] Street all [Em] through the evening
_ _ [A] _ [Am]
I _ hear that [Bm] you're _ building your _ [Am] little house _ _ deep [Bm] in the desert
_ _ You're _ [A] _ _ _
_ [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 [C] of your [G] hair _ _ _ _ She said that you gave it to [Am] _ her
_ _ _ _ That night that you planned to go [Bm] clear _ _ Did _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
you ever [Am] go [E] clear?
_ [Em] _
_ [E] _ _ [G] _ Oh, [B] the [Am] last time we saw you, [F] you looked so much older
_ [D] Your [Dm] famous blue _ raincoat [Em] was torn at the shoulder
_ _ [Am] You'd been to the station [F] to meet every _ train You [D] _ _
_ came home [E] without [Em]
Lily
_ _ And [Am] you treated _ _ my _ [Bm] _
woman _ _ _ [Am] to a flake _ _ of [Bm] your life
_ And _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ when she [G] came back, _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Am] she was _ _ [G] nobody's wife
_ Well, I [C] see _ _ you _ _ there with a rose in [G] your teeth
_ _ One _ _ _ more thin gypsy [Am] _ _
thief
_ _ _ _ _ Well, I see _ [Bm] Jane's away, _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ she sends her [E] regard

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] And what [Am] can I _ tell you, [F] my brother, _ _ my killer?
_ [D] _ _
What can I _ [E] possibly 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 [Em] come [Bm] by here _ _ [Am] _ _ _ for Jane [Bm] or for me
_ _ Well, _ [Am] _ _ _ _ your enemy _ [G] is sleeping _ _ and [Am] _ _ _ _ his woman is [G] 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] tried
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] And Jane _ _ _ came _ by with a lock of your [G]
hair
_ _ She _ said that you gave it [Am] to her
_ _ _ _ That night that you planned to go [Bm] _ clear
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ Sincerely, _ [E] Elkhorn
