It's four in the morning, the end of December

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better

New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
Dm7Dm7 Piano Chord 
                   Em7Em7 Piano Chord 

There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening

                 GG Piano Chord 

You're living for nothing now
AmAm Piano Chord 
                                GG Piano Chord 

I hope you're keeping some kind of record

CHORUS #1:

                               GG Piano Chord 

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
AmAm Piano Chord 

She said that you gave it to her
BmBm Piano Chord 
  GG Piano Chord 

That night that you planned to go clear
FF Piano Chord 
                  Em7Em7 Piano Chord 

Did you ever go clear?

AmAm Piano Chord 

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife

CHORUS #2:
CC Piano Chord 
                                   GG Piano Chord 

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
AmAm Piano Chord 

One more thin gypsy thief
BmBm Piano Chord 
  GG Piano Chord 
 FF Piano Chord 
               Em7Em7 Piano Chord 

Well I see Jane's awake   she sends her regards

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free

CHORUS #3:
CC Piano Chord 
                          GG Piano Chord 

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
AmAm Piano Chord 
                        GG Piano Chord 

I thought it was there for good so I never tried
CC Piano Chord 
                                GG Piano Chord 

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
AmAm Piano Chord 

She said that you gave it to her
BmBm Piano Chord 
  GG Piano Chord 

That night that you planned to go clear

Sincerely, L  Cohen

Dm7: x x 0 2 1 1  Em7: 0 2 2 0 3 0

NOTE: Technically speaking, the bottom E should drop down to D to get a
really low note for the Dm7.  All other chords should be changed
accordingly if you feel it worth the bother.  Also, the standard Cohen
picking pattern can be used on this song (see Winter Lady).
(from Songs of Love and Hate, 1971)



I got this off some archive awhile ago, can't remember which. Here are
the chord changes.
