Blue Raincoat Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[Am] [F] [Am]

[VERSE 1]
It's four in the morning, the [F]end of December
[Dm7]I'm writing you now just to [Em]see if you're better
[Am]New York is cold, but I [F]like where I'm living
There's [Dm7]music on Clinton Street [Em]all through the evening
[Am]I hear that you're [Bm]building your little [Am]house in the [Bm]desert
[Am]You're living for [G]nothing now,[Am] I hope you're keeping some kind of [G]record

[CHORUS]
Yes, and [C]Jane came by with a lock of your [G]hair
She said you [E7]gave it to [Am]her
That night that you planned to go [Bm]clear [G]
[F]Did you ever go [Em]clear? [Am] [G]

[VERSE 2]
The [Am]last time we saw you, you [F]looked so much older
[Dm7]Your famous blue raincoat was [Em]torn at the shoulder
[Am]You'd been to the station to [F]meet every train
[Dm7]Then you came home without [Em]Lili Marlene
And you [Am]treated my [Bm]woman to a [Am]flake of your [Bm]life
[Am]And when she came [G]home,[Am] she was nobody's [G]wife

[CHORUS]
Yes, I [C]see you there with the rose in your [G]teeth
One more thin [E7]gypsy [Am]thief
Well, I see Jane's a[Bm]wake [G]
[F]She sends her re[Em]gards [Am] [G]

[VERSE 3]
And [Am]what can I tell you my [F]brother, my killer
[Dm7]What can I possibly [Em]say?
I [Am]guess that I miss you, I [F]guess I forgive you
[Dm7]I'm glad that you stood in my [Em]way
[Am]If you ever come [Bm]by here, for [Am]Jane or for [Bm]me
[Am]Well, your enemy is [G]sleeping,[Am] and his woman is [G]free

[CHORUS]
Yes, and [C]thanks, for the trouble you [G]took from her eyes
[E7]I thought it was [Am]there for good, so I never [G]tried
Yes, and [C]Jane came by with a lock of your [G]hair
She said that you [E7]gave it to [Am]her
That night that you meant to go [Bm]clear [Am] [G]
[F]Sincerely, L Co[Em]hen
