So Long Marianne

Come

over to the window, my little

Hm

I'd like to try to read your

A

palm

I used to think I was some kind of

Gypsy boy

F#m

Before I let you take me

E

Now

A

so long, Marianne,

F#m

it's time that we began

To

And

Well, you

A

know that I love to

Hm

live with you

D

But you make me forget so very

A

much

G

I forget to pray for the

D

angels

And then the

F#m

angels forget to pray for

E

us

Esus4

E

E7

Now

A

so long, Marianne,

F#m

To

We

A

met when we were

Hm/A

almost young

D/A

Deep in the green lilac

A

park

G

You held on to me like I was a

D

crucifix

F#m

As we went kneeling through the

E

dark

Esus4

E

E7

Now

A

so long, Marianne,

F#m

it's time that we began

To

E

laugh,

Esus4

and

E

cry

Esus4

and

E

cry

E7

And

E

laugh a

E7

bout it

A

all again

Your

A

letters, they all say that you're be

Hm

side me now

D

Then why do I feel a

A

lone?

G

I'm standing on a ledge and your

D

fine spider web

Is

F#m

fastening my ankle to a

E

stone

Esus4

E

E7

Now

A

so long, Marianne,

F#m

it's time that we began

For

A

now I need your

Hm/A

hidden love

D/A

I'm cold as a new razor

A

blade

G

You left when I told you I was

D

curious

F#m

I never said that I was

E

brave

Esus4

E

And

Oh, you are really such a pr

Hm

etty one

D

I see you've gone and changed your

To wash my eye

lids in the

E

rain

E7

Now
