It's a darling [D] girl, [A] my darling girl [D]
[A] With eyes as dark as night
[E] And [A] a heart so [D] true,
[A] just so [D] strong Set [A] to live [E] a darling [A]
life
As years roll [D] by, [A] she'll grow up fine [D] [A]
And she'll sing a [E] sad song
But [A] she'll find your [D] piano, [A]
and she'll find her [D] wings
And [A] she'll sing [E] all the days [A]
I'm [D]
[F#m] waiting on [A] the ghost
[E] To show her [D] loving arms [A]
Sweet [E] Marie, I [F#m] can see
[D] Your faint [A] light shining [E] down [A]
on me
Go call on her [D] brother [A]
and her sister too [D] [A] Go call on all [E] the town
And [A] tell them all [D] today Your [A]
darling girl [D] is [A] to wear [E] a wedding [A] gown
And though it all came so fast, ten years soon will [D] pass
[A]
Before there's room for [E] three But [A] my sister will grow [D] up
And my [A]
mother will [D] know Soon [A] there will be [E] room [A] for me
[D]
I'm waiting on [A] the ghost
[E] To [F#m] show her [D] loving arms

Like an old toy [D] top, [A]
spins and [D] stops [A] Or a tag on the last wall to end the [E] ball
A [A] long summer's [D] wait will [A] come winding down [D] And [A] she'll be [E] buried in the [A] fall
Now she [D] sleeps [A] with you, [D] Marie [A]
Bittersweet is [E] this old world
But [A]
they tell me [D] soon my [A] sister [D] too [A] Will have a [E] darling [A] girl
[D] I'm waiting [A] on the ghost
[E] To show her [D]
loving arms

Sweet [E] Marie, [F#m] I can see [D] Your faint [A]
light shining [E] down
