So Long, Marianne

Leonard Cohen
Composição de: Leonard Cohen

Tom: A

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 E4 E E7
Before I let you take me home

A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E E4 E E7 E E4 E E7 A Asus4
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

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 E4 E E7
And then the angels forget to pray for us

A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E E4 E E7 E E4 E E7 A Asus4
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

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 E4 E E7
As we went kneeling through the dark

A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E E4 E E7 E E4 E E7 A Asus4
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
A Bm
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
D A
Then why do I feel so alone
G D
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
F#m E E4 E E7
Is fastening my ankle to a stone

A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E E4 E E7 E E4 E E7 A Asus4
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

A Bm
For now I need your hidden love
D A
I'm cold as a new razor blade
G D
You left when I told you I was curious
F#m E E4 E E7
I never said that I was brave

A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E E4 E E7 E E4 E E7 A Asus4
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

A Bm
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
D A
I see you've gone and changed your name again
G D
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
F#m E E4 E E7
To wash my eyelids in the rain

A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E E4 E E7 E E4 E E7 A Asus4
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
A Asus4 Bm D E
