FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT- Leonard Cohen
It's foAmur in the morning, the enFd of December
I'm wrDm7iting you now just to Em7see if you're better
NewAm York is cold, but I liFke where I'm living
There's muDm7sic on Clinton Street Em7all through the evening
IAm hear that you're buBmilding your little hoAmuse deep in the deBmsert
YAmou're living for noGthing now
I hAmope you're keeping some kind of reGcord
CHORUS #1:
Yes, and JaCne came by with a lock of your hGair
She said that you gave it to Amher
That night that you planned to go clBmear G
FDid you ever go cleEm7ar?
Ah, the lAmast 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:
Well I seCe you there with the rose in your teGeth
One more thin gypsy thAmief
Well I see Jane's awBmake G Fshe sends her reEm7gards
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:
Yes, and thCanks, for the trouble you tGook from her eyes
I thought it was thAmere for good so I never trGied
And JaCne came by with a lock of your haGir
She said that you gave it to hAmer
That night that you planned to go cleBmar G
SFincerely, L CohEm7en
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).

If you have the music, you can figure it out with these changes. Leonard
Cohen is a genius.
