Well, you railroad gate, [A] you [B] know I just [E] can't jump it
[A] Sometimes [E] it gets so [B] hard, you see
[E] Just sitting [A] here, [B] beating on [E] my trumpet
[C#m]
[G#m] With all these promises you [E]
left [B] for me
Oh, [A] where are you [B] tonight, sweet [E] Marie?
Well, I waited for you [A] [B] when I [E] was half sick
[A] I waited for you [E] when you hated [B] me
I [E] waited for [A] you inside of [B] the frozen [E] traffic
[C#m]
[G#m] Even you knew I had some other [E]
place [B] to be
Oh, [A] but where are you [B] tonight, sweet [E] Marie?
[C] Well, you really thought it'd be just [E] like me, obviously
[C] But then now again, not too many can [E] be like you, [B] fortunately
Those [E] six white horses [A] that [B] you did [E] promise
Now [A] they're delivered [E] down to the [B] penitentiary
But [C#] to [E] live outside of [A] the law, [B] you must be [E] honest
[C#m] You [G#m] know you always say [E] that you [B] agree
Oh, [A] Rachel, where are you [B] tonight, sweet [E] Marie?
[C] Well, I don't know how it happened, but the riverboat happened
[E] She knows my fate
You [C] find everybody else, including [Em] yourself, that's just gonna have [F#] to wait
I've [E] got the fever [A] down [B]
in [E] my pocket
[A] The Persian [E] drunkard, he follows [B] me
I can [E] sneak into [A] your house, [B] but I can't [E] unlock it
[C#m]
You [G#m] see, I forgot to leave [E] mail with [B] the key
Oh, come [A] on now, where are you [B] tonight, sweet [E] Marie?

Now [E] I stand here [A] looking [B] at your [E] yellow railroad
[C#m] In [G#m] the ruins of [E] your [B] balcony
[A] Wondering where you [B] are tonight
[A] Where you [B] are tonight
