D#D#G#A#7D#
Well, your railroadgate, you know I just canʼt jump it.
G#D#A#7
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see.
D#G#A#7D#Cm
Iʼm just sitting here beating on my trumpet,
GmD#A#7
With all these promises you left for me.
G#A#7D#
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
D#G#A#7D#
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick.
G#D#A#7
Yes I waited for you when you hated me.
D#G#A#7D#Cm
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
GmD#A#7
When you knew I had some other place to be.
G#A#7D#
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
BD#
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviosly,
BD#A#7
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
D#G#A#7D#
Well, six white horses that you did promise me
G#D#A#7
Where finaly delivered down to the penitentiary.
D#G#A#7D#Cm
But to live outside the law, you must be honest.
GmD#A#7
I know you always say that you agree,
G#A#7D#
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
D#G#A#7D#
Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed
G#D#A#7
That a man canʼt give his address out to bad company,
D#G#A#7D#Cm
And now I stand here lookinʼ at your yellow railroad
GmD#A#7
In the ruins of your balcony,
G#A#7D#
Wondʼring where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
BD#
Well I donʼt know how it happened,But the riverboat captain,he knows my fate
BD#A#7
But evʼrybody else, even yourself, theyʼre just gonna have to wait.
D#G#A#7D#
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets,
G#D#A#7
The Persian drunkard, he follows me.
D#G#A#7D#Cm
Yes, I can take him to your house, but I canʼt unlock it.
GmD#A#7
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key.
G#A#7D#
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie?
