1. Come over to the window, my little darling,
D A
I'd like to try to read your palm.

I used to think I was some sort of gypsy boy,
F#m E Esus4 E E7
before I let you take me home.
A F#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E Esus4 E E7 E Esus4 E E7 A Asus4 A
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
A Hm
2. 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 Esus4 E E7
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
A F#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began

to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

3. 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.

4. 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.
A F#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E Esus4 E E7 E Esus4 E E7 A Asus4 A

5. 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

I never said that I was brave.
A F#m

6. 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.
A F#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
E Esus4 E E7 E Esus4 E E7 A Asus4 A
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
