1. Come over to the window, my little darling,
A E
I'd like to try to read your palm.
D A
I used to think I was some sort of gypsy boy,
C#m H Hsus4 H H7
before I let you take me home.
E C#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
H Hsus4 H H7 H Hsus4 H H7 E Esus4 E
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
E F#m
2. Well you know that I love to live with you,
A E
but you make me forget so very much.
D A
I forget to pray for the angels
C#m H Hsus4 H H7
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
E C#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
H Hsus4 H H7 H Hsus4 H H7 E Esus4 E
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

3. We met when we were almost young
A E
deep in the green lilac park,
D A
you held on to me like I was a crucifix
C#m H Hsus4 H H7
as we went kneeling through the dark.
E C#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
H Hsus4 H H7 H Hsus4 H H7 E Esus4 E
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

4. Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
A E
then why do I feel so alone.
D A
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
C#m H Hsus4 H H7
is fastening my ankle to a stone.
E C#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
H Hsus4 H H7 H Hsus4 H H7 E Esus4 E
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
E F#m
5. For now I need your hidden love,
A E
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
D A
You left when I told you I was curious
C#m H Hsus4 H H7
I never said that I was brave.
E C#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
H Hsus4 H H7 H Hsus4 H H7 E Esus4 E
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
E F#m
6. Oh, you are really such a pretty one,
A E
I see you've gone and changed your name again,
D A
and just when I climbed this whole mountainside
C#m H Hsus4 H H7
to wash my eyelids in the rain.
E C#m
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
H Hsus4 H H7 H Hsus4 H H7 E Esus4 E
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
