1. Come over to the window, my little darling,
H F#
I'd like to try to read your palm.
E H
I used to think I was some sort of gypsy boy,
D#m C# C#sus4 C# C#7
before I let you take me home.
F# D#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
C# C#sus4 C# C#7 C# C#sus4C# C#7 F# F#sus4 F#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
F# G#m
2. Well you know that I love to live with you,
H F#
but you make me forget so very much.
E H
I forget to pray for the angels
D#m C# C#sus4 C# C#7
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
F# D#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
C# C#sus4 C# C#7 C# C#sus4C# C#7 F# F#sus4 F#

3. We met when we were almost young
H F#
deep in the green lilac park,
E H
you held on to me like I was a crucifix
D#m C# C#sus4 C# C#7
as we went kneeling through the dark.
F# D#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
C# C#sus4 C# C#7 C# C#sus4C# C#7 F# F#sus4 F#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
F# G#m
4. Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
H F#
then why do I feel so alone.
E H
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
D#m C# C#sus4 C# C#7
is fastening my ankle to a stone.
F# D#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
C# C#sus4 C# C#7 C# C#sus4C# C#7 F# F#sus4 F#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
F# G#m
5. For now I need your hidden love,
H F#
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
E H
You left when I told you I was curious
D#m C# C#sus4 C# C#7
I never said that I was brave.
F# D#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
C# C#sus4 C# C#7 C# C#sus4C# C#7 F# F#sus4 F#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
F# G#m
6. Oh, you are really such a pretty one,
H F#
I see you've gone and changed your name again,
E H
and just when I climbed this whole mountainside
D#m C# C#sus4 C# C#7
to wash my eyelids in the rain.
F# D#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
C# C#sus4 C# C#7 C# C#sus4C# C#7 F# F#sus4 F#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
