FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT  (Leonard Cohen)
 
 
INTRO: Am  F  Dm  Em
 
      Am                       F
It's four in the morning, the end of December
Dm                            Em
  I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
Am                      F
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
        Dm                      Em 
There's music on Clinton Street all thru the evening
Am                   Bbm                  Am                Bbm  
  I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
Am                   G                        Am                    G 
  You're living for nothing now I hope you're keeping some kind of record
         C                                G                                Am
Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair she said that you gave it to her 
                                   Bbm  G  F                  Em 
That night that you planned to go clear      Did you ever go clear?


     Am                        F
The last time we saw you, you looked so much older
     Dm                        Em
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
       Am                     F  
You'd been to the station to meet every train
Dm                      Em
  You came home without Lili Marlene
         Am        Bbm         Am           Bbm    
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
Am                   G   Am                  G
  And when she came back    she was nobody's wife
         C                                  G                         Am
Well, I see you there with a rose in your teeth  One more thin gypsy thief
                    Bbm  G  F                  Em  Am  F  Dm  Em
Well, I see Jane's awake      She sends her regards.


     Am                     F                 Dm                     Em
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer    What can I possibly say
   Am                   F                      Dm                          Em 
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you    I'm glad you stood in my way
Am                 Bbm    Am                Bbm
  If you ever come by here   for Jane or for me
Am                      G      Am                    G
  well, your enemy is sleeping    and your woman is free
           C                             G
Yes, and thanks     for the trouble you took from her eyes
                  Am                            Bbm   G
I thougth it was there for good     so I never tried.
     C                                G 
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
                             Am                                Bbm  G  F
She said that you gave it to her that night you planned to go clear
             Em    Am  F  Dm  Em
