So Long, Marianne Leonard Cohen
Come over [A]to the window, my little darling,[Bm]
[D]I'd like to tr[D]y to read your palm.[A]
[G] I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy,[D]
[F#m] before I let you take me home.[E] [Esus4]
[E] [E7] Now [A]so long, Marianne, it's ti[F#m]me that we began to
[E]lau[Esus4]gh and [E]cry [E7]and [E]cr[Esus4]y and
[E]laugh ab[E7]out it all aga[A]in. [Asus4] [A] [Asus4] [A]
Well you know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
Chorus
We met when we were almost young
deep in the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
as we went kneeling through 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!
Chorus
Oh your eyes, well I forgot Your eyes
Your body's at home in every sea.
How come you gave away your news to everyone
That you said was a secret for me.
Chorus
If you leave, where will I keep you then
In my heart as some men say
But I who was born to love everyone
Why should I keep you so far away?
Chorus
