So Long, Marianne

Intro: A 
 
               A                              Bm 
Won‘t you come over to the window, my little darling 
D                             A 
I‘d like to try to read your palm 
G                                                 D 
You know I used to think that I was some kind of Gypsy boy 
F#m                       E.. Esus4..|E.. E7..| 
Before I let you take me home 
 
 A              F#m 
So long, Marianne, it‘s time that we began 
    E  Esus4  E  E7   E  Esus4 E 
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh 
 E7      A.. ...|Asus4.. ...|A.. ...|Asus4.. ...| 
about it all again 
 
Well you know that I love to live with you 
But you make me forget so very much 
I forget to pray for the angels 
And then the angels forget to pray for us 
 
So long, Marianne, it‘s time that we began 
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again 
 
Ah we met, when was it, we were almost young 
It was down by the green lilac park 
You held on to me like I was a crucifix 
As we went kneeling through the dark 
 
So long, Marianne, it‘s time that we began 
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again 
 
For now I need your hidden love 
I‘m cold as a new razor blade 
You left when I told you I was curious 
Did I ever say that I was brave 
 
So long, Marianne, it‘s time that we began 
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again 
 
Oh, you are really such a perfect one 
I see you‘ve gone and changed your names again 
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside 
To wash my eyelids in the rain 
 
So long, Marianne, it‘s time that we began 
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again 
 
So long, Marianne, it‘s time that we began 
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
