Key: F#
Introduction: D
D G A D
Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it
G D A
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
D G A D Bm
I'm just sitting here, beating on my trumpet
F#m D A
With all these promises you left for me
G A D
But where are you tonight, Sweet Marie? (lick)
D G A D
Well, I waited for you when I was a-half sick
G D A
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
D G A D Bm
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
F#m D A
When you knew I had some other place to be
G A D
Now, where are you tonight, Sweet Marie? (lick)
Bb D
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
Bb D A
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately
D G A D
Well, six white horses that you did promise
G D A
Were finally delivered down to the penitentiary
D G A D Bm
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
F#m D A
I know you always say that you agree
G A D
Well, where are you tonight, Sweet Marie? (lick)
Bb D
Well, I don't know how it happened. But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
Bb D A
But everybody else, even yourself, just gonna have to wait
D G A D
I got the fever down in my pockets
G D A
The Persian drunkard, he follows me
D G A D Bm
I can take him to your house, but I can't unlock it
F#m D A
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
G A D
Yeah, where are you tonight, Sweet Marie? (lick)
