From: Harlan L Thompson <harlant@uhunix.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu> 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). (from Songs of Love and Hate, 1971) (sent by Harlan at harlant@hawaii.edu) From: johngalt@grove.ufl.edu (JONATHAN M NEWMAN) Subject: CRD: Leonard Cohen, "Famous Blue Raincoat" I got this off some archive awhile ago, can't remember which.

Leonard Cohen is a genius.
