Famous Blue Raincoat - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
From his third album "Songs of Love and Hate": a blessed different love song. A personal letter to a former friend, involved with his woman. It feels hard to sing this song sometimes, cause Cohen not only has written it - which can make it hard enough - he has also SIGNED it «Sincerely, L. Cohen». But you may drop that line, and simply repeat from the first verse. It also feels hard to simplify my (un)usual chords on this, but it's doggone harder to try to write them down ... so here we go; a "normal" way:C6 F it's four in the morning the end of december Dm7 Em G I'm writing you now just to see if you're better C6 F New York is cold but I like where I'm living Dm7 Em G there's music on Clinton Street all through the evening Am Bm C6 Bm I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert Am G C6 G you're living for nothing now * I hope you're keeping some kind of records C G yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair G7 C6 she said that you gave it to her Bm G F that night when you planned to go clear Em G did you ever go clear ?
