0Come over to the window,  my little darling 
D2                               A3  
1I'd like to try to read your palm 
G4                                     D5  
2I used to think I was some sort of gypsy boy 
F#m6                          E7    Esus48  E9  E710   
3   before I let you take me home

    A11                  F#m12  
5Now so long, Marianne,    It's time that we began 
    E13    Esus414      E15   E716      E17  Esus418        E19       E720      A21         Asus422        
6to laugh      and cry   and cry      and laugh about it all again

          A23                   Bm24     
8Well you know that I love to live with you 
D25                                 A26  
9 but you make me forget so very much 
G27                           D28  
10 I forget to pray for the angels 
             F#m29                        E30   sus4 E31  E732   
11and then the angels forget to pray for us 
12 
    A33                  F#m34  
13Now so long, Marianne,    It's time that we began

15 
    A45                Bm46    
16We met when we were almost young  
D47                          A48   
17 deep in the green lilac park 
G49                                 D50  
18 You held on to me like I was a crucifix 
F#m51                                  E52    Esus453  E54  E755   
19   as we went kneeling through the dark 
20 
    A56                  F#m57  
21Now so long, Marianne,    It's time that we began 
    E58    Esus459      E60   E761      E62  Esus463        E64       E765      A66         Asus467

23 
      A68                                  Bm69  
24Your letters they all say that you're beside me now 
D70                         A71  
25 then why do I feel so alone 
G72                                  D73   
26 I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web 
    F#m74                       E75   Esus476  E77  E778  
27is fastening my ankle to a stone 
28 
    A79                  F#m80  
29Now so long, Marianne,    It's time that we began

31 
     A91               Bm92  
32For now I need your hidden love 
D93                          A94  
33 I'm cold as a new razor blade 
G95                                 D96  
34 You left when I told you I was curious 
F#m97                          E98    Esus499  E100  E7101  
35   I never said that I was brave 
36

40Oh, you are really such a pretty one 
D116                                    A117   
41 I see you've gone and changed your name again 
G118                               D119  
42 And just when I climbed this whole mountainside 
    F#m120                      E121   Esus4122  E123  E7124  
43to wash my eyelids in the rain 
44 
    A125                  F#m126

47 
   A137                     Bm138  
48Oh, your eyes, well, I forget your eyes 
D139                               A140  
49 your body's at home in every sea 
G141                              D142  
50 How come you gave away your news to everyone 
F#m143                               E144  Esus4145  E146  E7147
