	Am	F
It's fo	ur in the morning, the en	d of December

	Dm7	Em7
I'm wr	iting you now just to	see if you're better

	Am	F
New	York is cold, but I li	ke where I'm living

	Dm7	Em7
There's mu	sic on Clinton Street	all through the evening

	Am	Bm	Am	Bm
I	hear that you're bu	ilding your little ho	use deep in the de	sert

	Am	G
Y	ou're living for no	thing now

	Am	G
I h	ope you're keeping some kind of re	cord

CHORUS #1:

	C	G
Yes, and Ja	ne came by with a lock of your h	air

	Am
She said that you gave it to	her

	Bm	G
That night that you planned to go cl	ear

	F	Em7
	Did you ever go cle	ar?

	Am
Ah, the l	ast 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 se	e you there with the rose in your te	eth

	Am
One more thin gypsy th	ief

	Bm	G	F	Em7
Well I see Jane's aw	ake		she sends her re	gards

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 th	anks, for the trouble you t	ook from her eyes

	Am	G
I thought it was th	ere for good so I never tr	ied

	C	G
And Ja	ne came by with a lock of your ha	ir

	Am
She said that you gave it to h	er

	Bm	G
That night that you planned to go cle	ar

	F	Em7
S	incerely, L Coh	en

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)

Subject: CRD: Leonard Cohen, "Famous Blue Raincoat"

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

the chord changes.

VERSE

Dm7

BRIDGE

Dm7

CHORUS

Dm7

If you have the music, you can figure it out with these changes. Leonard

Cohen is a genius.
