AI reference · supporting evidence Strummed · 4/4 · about 80 BPM

Compact full-song arrangement based on the supplied chord sheet. Use a gentle, even eighth-note strum in 4/4; each listed chord normally occupies one bar unless multiple chords appear inside the same bar.

Timing check: At the estimated 72 BPM in 4/4, each bar is 3.333 seconds; the written arrangement is approximately 386.7 seconds, somewhat longer than the verified 315.679-second recording because lyric phrasing and repeated chord cycles are conservatively represented. Adjacent full-bar chord events were paired because the literal interpretation exceeded the verified recording duration.

Expected about 95 bars; arranged 74.0 bars (about 247 seconds, recording 316 seconds).

[Intro]|  |  |  |  ||  |  |  |  |[Verse 1]|  |  |It's four in the morning, the end of December|  |  |I'm writing you now just to see if you're better|  |  | New York is cold, but I like where I'm living|  |  |There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening|  |  |  |  |I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert|  |  |  |  | You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record[Chorus 1]|  |  |  | Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair|  |  |  |  |  |She said that you gave it to her that night that you planned to go clear|   |  | Did you ever go clear?[Verse 2]|  |  |Ah, the last time we saw you, you looked so much older|  |  |Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder|  |  | You'd been to the station to meet every train|  |  |And you came home without Lili Marlene|  |  |  |  |And you treated my woman to a flake of your life|  |  |  |  |And when she came back, she was nobody's wife[Chorus 2]|  |  |  |  |Well, I see you there with the rose in your teeth|  |  |  |  | One more thin gypsy thief, well, I see Jane's awake|  |  |She sends her regards[Instrumental]|  |  |  |  |[Verse 3]|  |  |And what can I tell you my brother, my killer?|  |  |What can I possibly say?|  |  |I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you|  |  |I'm glad you stood in my way|  |  |  |  |If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me|  |  |  |  |Well, your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free[Chorus 3]|  |  |  |  |Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes|  |  |  |  | I thought it was there for good, so I never tried|  |  |  |  |And Jane came by with a lock of your hair|  |  |  |  |She said that you gave it to her that night that you planned to go clear|  |  |Sincerely, L. Cohen[Outro]|  |  |  |  |
