1. Come over to the window, my little darling,
F# C#
I'd like to try to read your palm.
H F#
I used to think I was some sort of gypsy boy,
Bbm G# G#sus4 G# G#7
before I let you take me home.
C# Bbm
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
G# G#sus4 G# G#7 G# G#sus4G# G#7 C# C#sus4 C#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
C# D#m
2. Well you know that I love to live with you,
F# C#
but you make me forget so very much.
H F#
I forget to pray for the angels
Bbm G# G#sus4 G# G#7
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
C# Bbm
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began

3. We met when we were almost young
F# C#
deep in the green lilac park,
H F#
you held on to me like I was a crucifix
Bbm G# G#sus4 G# G#7
as we went kneeling through the dark.
C# Bbm
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
G# G#sus4 G# G#7 G# G#sus4G# G#7 C# C#sus4 C#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

4. Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
F# C#
then why do I feel so alone.
H F#
I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Bbm G# G#sus4 G# G#7
is fastening my ankle to a stone.
C# Bbm
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
G# G#sus4 G# G#7 G# G#sus4G# G#7 C# C#sus4 C#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

5. For now I need your hidden love,
F# C#
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
H F#
You left when I told you I was curious
Bbm G# G#sus4 G# G#7
I never said that I was brave.
C# Bbm
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
G# G#sus4 G# G#7 G# G#sus4G# G#7 C# C#sus4 C#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

6. Oh, you are really such a pretty one,
F# C#
I see you've gone and changed your name again,
H F#
and just when I climbed this whole mountainside
Bbm G# G#sus4 G# G#7
to wash my eyelids in the rain.
C# Bbm
R. Now so long, Marianne, It's time that we began
G# G#sus4 G# G#7 G# G#sus4G# G#7 C# C#sus4 C#
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
