( D )

               D         G        
Well, your railroadgate, you know 
  A7              D
I just can't jump it.
G                 D               A7
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see.
         D           G          
I'm just sitting here beating on
A7         D       Bm
 my trumpet,
     F#m                    D     
with all these promises you left 
     A7
for me.
          G              A7    
But where are you tonight, sweet 
        D
Marie ?

         D            G       A7 
Well, I waited for you when I was
     D
 half sick.
       G              D           
Yes I waited for you when you 
  A7
hated me.
         D            G           
Well, I waited for you inside of 
   A7        D        Bm
the frozen traffic
         F#m                    D 
When you knew I had some other 
        A7
place to be.
           G              A7      
Now, where are you tonight, sweet 
      D
Marie ?

A7     D

      G                    D      
Where finaly delivered down to the
           A7
 penitentiary.
       D                G      
But to live outside the law, you 
     A7      D       Bm
must be honest.
  F#m

D       A7

But where are you tonight, sweet 
        D
Marie ?

               D   G     A7      
Now, I been in jail when all my 
   D
mail showed
       G                          
That a man can't give his address 
D               A7
out to bad company,
          D           G

happened,But the riverboat 
         D

    Bb                             
But ev'rybody else, even yourself, 
             D                  A7

                D    G     A7    
Well, I got the fever down in my 
    D
pockets,
    G            D               A7
The Persian drunkard, he follows me.
            D               G     
Yes, I can take him to your house,
       A7          D       Bm
 but I can't unlock it.
    F#m                            
You see, you forgot to leave me 
 D        A7
