Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat Ver 2 guitar tab

Tuning:  Drop D (DADGBE)

I tabbed out a verse and chorus, but it's really not all that complex.  Once you establish the
picking pattern, you can just play the chords as shown using the lowest note that's not an "x" as
the base note in the picking pattern (and move the rest of the picking pattern up a string in
response).

Chords (in drop D):			Basic Picking Pattern
 Am: x02210					|------------|
  F: 3332xx					|------------|
Dm7: 0032xx					|----x---x---|
Em7: 2221xx					|------x---x-|
 Bm: x24432					|--x-x---x---|
  G: 5553xx					|x-----------|

         Am                      F
   It's four in the morning, the end of December
        Dm7                    Em7
   I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
   Am                      F
   New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
           Dm7                     Em7
   There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
Am                    Bm                   Am                Bm
   I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
Am                   G
   You're living for nothing now
      Am                                G
   I hope you're keeping some kind of record
             C                                G
   Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
                                Am
   She said that you gave it to her
                                      Bm     G
   That night that you planned to go clear
F                   Em7
   Did you ever go clear?


           Am                         F
   Oh, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older
         Dm7                     Em7
   Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
         Am                      F
   You'd been to the station to meet every train
Dm7                      Em7
   You came home without Lili Marlene
Am                    Bm          Am           Bm
   And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
Am                    G
   And when she came back
Am                   G
   She was nobody's wife
           C                                  G
   Well, I see you there with a rose in your teeth
                        Am
   One more thing gypsy thief
                      Bm    G
   Well I see Jane's awake
F                   Em7
   She sends her regards.

       Am                      F
   And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
 Dm7                   Em7
   What can I possibly say
     Am                       F
  I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
       Dm7                  Em7
   I'm glad you stood in my way.
Am                  Bm          Am          Bm
   If you ever come by here for Jane or for me
Am                     G
   Well, your enemy is sleeping
Am                    G
   And your woman is free
             C                          G
   Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
                     Am
   I thought it was there for good
               Bm       G
   So I never tried.
        C                                G
   And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
                                Am
   She said that you gave it to her
                                 Bm      G
   That night you planned to go clear
F                 Em7
   Sincerely, L. Cohen.
