written by Leonard Cohen

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    E7      A.. ...|Asus4.. ...|A.. ...|Asus4.. ...|
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh 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
