So long Marianne -Leonard Cohen - (1967)
Couplet:
ABm
Come over to the window my little darling
DA
I'd like to try to read your palm
GD
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
F#mEE7
Before I let you take me home
Refrein:
AF#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
EA - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Couplet:
ABm
Well you know that I love to live with you
DA
But you make me forget so very much
GD
I forget to pray for the angels
F#mEE7
And then the angels forget to pray for us
Refrein:
AF#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
EA - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Couplet:
ABm
We met when we were almost young
DA
Deep in the green Lilac Park
GD
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
F#mEE7
As we went kneeling through the dark
Refrein:
AF#m
Now so long Marianne it's time we began
EA - Asus4 - A
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Couplet:
Your letters say that you are beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
I’m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone
Refrein:
Ken je een betere of completere versie? Stuur 'm in
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Couplet:
For now I need your hidden love
I’m cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave
Refrein:
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Couplet:
Oh you are really such a pretty one
I see you’ve gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain
Refrein:
