SO LONG MARIANNE Leonard Cohen [Verse 1] 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 sort of gypsy boy F#m E Esus4 E E7 before I let you take me home [Chorus] A F#m Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began E Esus4 E E7 E Esus4 E E7 A Asus4 to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again [Verse 2] 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 sus4 E E7 and then the angels forget to pray for us [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 Esus4 E E7 as we went kneeling through the dark [Chorus] [Verse 4] 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 Esus4 E E7 is fastening my ankle to a stone [Chorus] [Verse 5] 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 Esus4 E E7 I never said that I was brave [Chorus] [Verse 6] 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 Esus4 E E7 to wash my eyelids in the rain [Chorus] ------- [I found this extra verse written out somewhere. Not on the original recording from the Best Of... Disc] A Bm Oh, your eyes, well, I forget your eyes D A your body's at home in every sea G D How come you gave away your news to everyone F#m E Esus4 E E7 that you said was a secret to me
