Come over to the window, my little darling

I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
F#m E E4 E E7
before I let you take me home
A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, It' s time that we began

as we went kneeling through the dark

is fastening my ankle to a stone
A F#m
Now so long, Marianne, It' s time that we began
E E4 E E7 E E4 E E7 A A4
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
A Bm
Oh, you are really such a pretty one
D A
I see you' ve gone and changed your name again
G D
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
F#m E E4 E E7
to wash my eye__lids in the rain
A F#m
Oh so long, Marianne, It' s time that we began
E E4 E E7 E E4 E E7 A A4
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again

your body' s at home in every sea

How come you gave away your news to everyone
F#m E E4 E E7
When you said it was a secret just for me
