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