So Long Marianne

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 Before I let you take me home. A F#m Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began E A To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |A |D |A |D | 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 And the angels forget to pray for us. A F#m Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began E A To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |A |D |A |D | 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 As we went kneeling through the dark. A F#m So long, Marianne, it's time that we began E A To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |A |D |A |D | A Bm Your letters they all say that you're beside me now. D A Then why do I feel alone? G D I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web F#m E Is fastening my ankle to a stone. A F#m So long, Marianne, it's time that we began E A To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |A |D |A |D | 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 I never said that I was brave. A F#m So long, Marianne, it's time that we began E A To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |A |D |A |D | 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 To wash my eyelids in the rain! A F#m So long, Marianne, it's time that we began E A To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again. |A |D |A |D | A F#m Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began E A To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
