Jonathan Coulton – Famous Blue Raincoat chords

Am                             FIt's four in the morning, the end of December
    Dm7                     Em      I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
Am                      FNew York is cold, but I like where I'm living
        Dm7                     EmThere's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
Am                 Bm                   Am   I hear that you're building your little house
               Bm   deep in the desert
       Am         G           You're living for nothing now,
                 Am                   G   I hope you're keeping some kind of record

         C                                GYes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
                             AmShe said that you gave it to her
                                  Bm      GThat night that you planned to go clear
F               EmDid you ever go clear?

Am                               FAh, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
     Dm7                      EmYour famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Am                           FYou'd been to the station to meet every train
Dm7                       EmAnd you came home without Lili Marlene


        Am         Bm         Am            BmAnd you treated my woman to a flake of your life
    Am            G    Am               GAnd when she came back she was nobody's wife.


       C                                   GWell I see you there with the rose in your teeth
                    AmOne more thin gypsy thief
                  Bm        GWell I see Jane's awake
F             EmShe sends her regards.

Am                         FAnd what can I tell you my brother, my killer
Dm7                 EmWhat can I possibly say?
Am                         FI guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
Dm7                      EmI'm glad you stood in my way.

Am               Bm       Am          BmIf you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Am            G             Am           GYour enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

         C                           GYes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
                 Am                        Bm I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

    C                                GAnd Jane came by with a lock of your hair
                             AmShe said that you gave it to her
                                  Bm       GThat night that you planned to go clear
F             EmSincerely, L. Cohen
