So Long, Leonard

With the passing of the great Leonard Cohen. I wanted to mark it here. So Long Marianne was just one of his many songs, but since he kept tweaking it, I have just heard some new verses. Which is like finding some chocolate after you thought it was all gone. Now that he is gone, all we will have is scraps and fragments. So here are the new (to me) opening lines.

Here comes the morning boat,
Here comes the evening train,
Here comes Marianne now,
To wave goodbye again.

He performed them in 1988 and 1993 when in Oslo so it is likely Marianne was in the audience.

More on variations of the song.

C
Here comes the morning boat,
Dm
Here comes the evening train,
Bb                 F
Here comes Marianne now,
Am                        G
To wave goodbye again.


     C                               Dm      
Come over to the window,  my little darling
F                              C
I'd like to try to read your palm
A#                                    F
I used to think I was some sort of gypsy boy
Am                         G   Gsus4 G G7
   before I let you take me home


[Chorus]

    C                 Am
Now so long, Marianne,    It's time that we began
    G   Gsus4     G  G7     G Gsus4       G      G7     C        Csus4    
to laugh      and cry   and cry      and laugh about it all again


          C                  Dm  
Well you know that I love to live with you
F                                C
 but you make me forget so very much
A#                          F
 I forget to pray for the angels
             Am                       G  sus4 G G7
and then the angels forget to pray for us


[Chorus]

    C               Dm
We met when we were almost young
F                         C
 deep in the green lilac park
A#                                F
 You held on to me like I was a crucifix
Am                                 G   Gsus4 G G7
   as we went kneeling through the dark


[Chorus]

      C                                 Dm
Your letters they all say that you're beside me now
F                        C
 then why do I feel so alone
A#                                 F
 I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
    Am                      G  Gsus4 G G7
is fastening my ankle to a stone

[Chorus]

     C              Dm
For now I need your hidden love
F                         C
 I'm cold as a new razor blade
A#                                F
 You left when I told you I was curious
Am                         G   Gsus4 G G7
   I never said that I was brave

[Chorus]

     C                     Dm
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
F                                   C
 I see you've gone and changed your name again
A#                              F
 And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
    Am                     G  Gsus4 G G7
to wash my eyelids in the rain

[Chorus]

   C                    Dm
Oh, your eyes, well, I forget your eyes
F                              C
 your body's at home in every sea
A#                             F
 How come you gave away your news to everyone
Am                              G Gsus4 G G7
   that you said was a secret to me
