[D] Well you're a railroad king, [G]
you know [A] I just [D] can't jump it
[G] Sometimes [D] it gets so hard to [A] see
I'm just waiting [G] here, [A] playing on that [D] trumpet
[B]
[F#] With all those promises [D] you left for [A] me
What [G] about you [A]
tonight, sweet [D] Marie?
Well I waited for you [G]
when [A] I was [D] a half-sid
Yes [G] I waited for you [D]
when you hated [A] me
I've been [D] waiting here for you [G]
inside [A] of the [D] broken traffic
[B]
[F#] When you knew I had some other [D] place [A] to be
How [G] about you [A] tonight, sweet [D] Marie?
[C#] [A#] Well anybody can be just like [D] me, obviously
[C#m] [A#] But then again, not everyone can be [D] like you, possibly
[A]
Six [D] white horses, [G] that you [D] did promise
Were [G]
finally delivered [D] down to the [A]
penitentiary
But [D] to live outside [G] the law, you must [D] be honest
[B] [F#] I know you'll always say [D] that you'll [A] agree
Alright, [G]
so where are you [A] tonight, sweet [D]
Marie?
Well [A#] I don't know how it happened, but the railroad captain, [D] he knows my fate
[A#] But everybody else, even myself, it [D]
just looked like asterisk
I have a fever [D] [G]
[A] down in [D] my pockets
[G] The Persian [D] token, he [A] follows me
I [D] could take you to your [G]
house, [A] but I can't [D] unlock it
[B]
You [F#m] see, you forgot to leave [D] your rubber [A] gear
[G] How about you [A]
tonight, sweet [D] Marie?
you know [A] I just [D] can't jump it
