This tab was able to be done thanks to the
Combined efforts of ,,, and myself.

-4    5   -4  -3   5 -4    
It's four in  the morning, 
-3   5    -4 -3 5 -4
the end   of December
 5   5  5    5    5 
I'm writing you  now 
 -4  -3 -4  -4   -4    5 -4
Just to see if you're better
  5    5    5   5     
 New  York  is cold,  
-3 -3  5    5     5   5 -4
But I like where I'm living
 -3     5 5   5   5  -4    -3 
There's music on Clinton Street 
-4    -4    -4   5 -4 
All through the evening.
5  5    -5    6     -5 -5    -6 
I hear that you're building your 
-6 -6    6    6    6  6  -5 -5
Little house deep in the desert 
  5     5 5    5  -4 -4   -4  
You're living for nothing now, 

-4  -4   -4    5  5    5     5   5  -4 -4
I hope you're keeping some kind of record.
-3  4   4    6    6  6  
 Ye-s, and Jane came by 
 -6  7  7   -6   6   -5
With a lock of your hair
-5   -5   6   -6   -6  6  -5  5 
She said that you gave it to her
5     5    -5   6     6    -5  5  -4 
That night that you planned to go clear
-3  -4   5    -4 -3   -4 
Did you ev-----er go clear? 

 -4  5    -4 -3   5   -4
The last time we saw you 
-3     5   -4  -3  5 -4
You looked so much older 
 5    5  5    5   5   -4
Your famous blue raincoat
-3  -4  -4  -4    5 -4
Was torn at the shoulder 
 5     5   5   5  -3 -3
You'd been to the station 
5   5    5 5   -4
To meet every train 
-3   5   5    -4
And you came home 
-3  -4  -4 -4  5  -4
Without Li-li Marlene 
 5   5   5 -5   6  -5 -5
And you treated my woman
-6 -6   6   6   6    -5
To  a flake of your life 
-4   -4  -4   5    5 
And when she came back 
 5   5  5 -4 -4   -4
She was nobody's wife. 
-3   4  6   6    6
Well I see you there 
 -6   7   7   -6  6    -5
With the rose in your teeth 
-5   6    -6   6 -5   5
One more thin gypsy thief 
 5  -5  6   -5    5 -4
Well I see Jane's awake -- 
-4   5    -4  -3 -4
She sends her regards. 
-4   5   -4 -3  5   -4
And what can I tell you 
-3  5  -4   -3  5 -4
My brother, my killer 
 5    5  5 5  5 -4  -4
What can I possibly say? 
-3 -4   -4  -4  5   -4 
I guess that I miss you, 
5  5    5  5  5    5
I guess I forgive you 
-3  -3    5    5   5  5  -4
I'm glad you stood in my way. 
-3  5  5 5   5  -4   -3 
If you ever come by here, 
-4   -4  -4  5  -4
for Jane or for me 
 5    5   -5 6 -5 -5  -5  -5
Well your en-e-my is sleeping, 
 6   6   6 6  -5  -5
And his woman is free. 
-3    4   4       6   6   6  -6  
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble 
 7   7    -6   6   -5
You took from her eyes 
-5   -5   6   -6   -6   6  -5
I thought it was there for good
5  6 -5 5   -4
So I never tried. 
 4   6    6   6   -6  7  7   -6  6    -5
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
-5   -5    6  -6   -6  6  -5  5 
She said that you gave it to her
 5    5     -5   6    6     -5 5   -4 
That night that you planned to go clear -- 
5 5 -4    -3  -4 -4
