Am 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: C G Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth Am One more thin gypsy thief Bm G F Em7 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: C G Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes Am G I thought it was there for good so I never tried C G And Jane came by with a lock of your hair Am She said that you gave it to her Bm G That night that you planned to go clear F Em7 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).
