Come over to the window my little darling,
RE                           
LA
 I’d like to try to read your palm
SOL                                
RE
 I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy
FA#m                      
MI
 before I let you take me home
    
LA               
FA#m
Now so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
   
MI                
to laugh and cry and cry

 Well you know that I love to live with you,
RE                              
LA
 but you make me forget so very much
SOL                       
RE
 I forget to pray for the angels
             
FA#m                      
MI
and then the angels forget to pray for us

 We met when we were almost young
RE/LA                    
LA      
 deep in the green lilac park
SOL                             
RE
 You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
FA#m                             
MI
 as we went kneeling through the dark
   
LA               
FA#m              
Oh so long, Marianne, it’s time that we began

 Your letters they all say that you’re beside me now
RE                   
LA       
SOL
 Then why do I feel alone?
                                 
RE
I’m standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
   
FA#m                    
MI
is fastening my ankle to a stone
    
LA

 For now I need your hidden love
RE/LA                    
LA
 I’m cold as a new razor blade
SOL                             
RE
 You left when I told you I was curious,
FA#m                     
MI
 I never said that I was brave
   
LA

LA
 I see you’ve gone and changed your name again
SOL                                 
RE
 And just when I climbed this whole mountainside,
FA#m             
MI
 to wash my eyelids in the rain!
   
LA
