So long marianne

So long Marianne -Leonard Cohen - (1967)


Couplet:
A Bm
Come over to the window my little darling
D A
I'd like to try to read your palm
G D
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
F#m E E7
Before I let you take me home




Refrein:
A F#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
E A - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again




Couplet:
A Bm
Well you know that I love to live with you
D A
But you make me forget so very much
G D
I forget to pray for the angels
F#m E E7
And then the angels forget to pray for us




Refrein:
A F#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
E A - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again




Couplet:
A Bm
We met when we were almost young
D A
Deep in the green Lilac Park
G D
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
F#m E E7
As we went kneeling through the dark




Refrein:
A F#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
E A - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again



Couplet:
Your letters say that you are 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



Refrein:
A F#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
E A - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again



Couplet:
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



Refrein:
A F#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
E A - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again



Couplet:
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



Refrein:
A F#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
E A - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
