SO LONG MARIANNE LEONARD COHEN
G Am
Come over to the window my little darling
C G
I'd like to try to read your palm
F C
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
Em D D7
Before I let you take me home
Chorus:
G Em
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
D D7 G
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
G Am
Well you know that I love to live with you
C G
But you make me forget so very much
F C
I forget to pray for the angels
Em D D7
And then the angels forget to pray for us
Chorus
G Am
We met when we were almost young
C G
Deep in the green Lilac park
F C
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
Em D D7
As we went kneeling thru the dark
Chorus
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now.
Then why do I feel alone?
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
is fastening my ankle to a stone.
Chorus
For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious,
I never said that I was brave.
Chorus
Oh, you are really such a pretty one.
I see you've gone and changed your name again.
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,
to wash my eyelids in the rain!
