               D         G          A7              D 
Well, your railroadgate, you know I just can't jump it. 
G                 D               A7 
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see. 
         D           G          A7         D       Bm 
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet, 
     F#m                    D          A7 
with all these promises you left for me. 
          G              A7            D 
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
[Estrofa]
         D            G       A7      D 
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick. 
       G              D             A7 
Yes I waited for you when you hated me. 
         D            G              A7        D        Bm 
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic 
         F#m                    D         A7 
When you knew I had some other place to be. 
           G              A7            D 
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
[Puente]
      Bb                       D 
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviosly, 
     Bb                                          D             A7 
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
[Estrofa]
                 D     G         A7     D 
Well, six white horses that you did promise me 
      G                    D                 A7 
Where finaly delivered down to the penitentiary. 
       D                G           A7      D       Bm 
But to live outside the law, you must be honest. 
  F#m                         D       A7 
I know you always say that you agree, 
     G                   A7            D 
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
[Estrofa]
               D   G     A7         D 
Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed 
       G                          D               A7 
That a man can't give his address out to bad company, 
          D           G              A7         D         Bm 
And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad 
       F#m           D       A7 
In the ruins of your balcony, 
               G                A7           D 
Wond'ring where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
[Puente]
             Bb                                             D 
Well I don't know how it happened,But the riverboat captain,he knows my fate 
    Bb                                          D                  A7 
But ev'rybody else, even yourself, they're just gonna have to wait.
[Estrofa]
                D    G     A7        D 
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets, 
    G            D               A7 
The Persian drunkard, he follows me. 
            D               G            A7          D       Bm 
Yes, I can take him to your house, but I can't unlock it. 
    F#m                             D        A7 
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key. 
    G                    A7            D 
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?
