Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Well your [G]railroad gate,
[C]you know I [D]just can't jump [G]it
Sometimes [C]it gets so [G]hard, you [D]see
[G]I'm just sitting [C]here beating
[D]out my trum[G]pet[Em]
With [Bm]all these promises you left for m[D]e
Yeah, [C]where are you tonight,
[D]sweet Marie?[G]
Well, I waited for you when
[C]I was[D] hal[G]f sick
Yes, I [C]waited for you when
[G]you hated [D]me
Well, I [G]waited for you
[C]inside of the [D]frozen traf[G]fic[Em]
When you [Bm]knew I had some
other place to [D]be
Yeah, [C]where are you tonight?
[D]Whe[C]re are you tonight?
[D]Yeah, whe[C]re are you tonight,
[D]sweet Mar[G]ie?
[Eb]Well, anybody can be just like [G]me,
obviously
[Eb]But then again, not too many can be like y[G]ou,
[D]fortunately
Well, six white [G]horses that
[C]you did[D] promise[G]
Were fi[C]nally delivered [G]to the penitentiary
[D]But to liv[G]e outside the law,
[C]you mus[D]t be honest[G][Em]
I [Bm]know you always said that
you were [D]green
[C]Where are you tonight?
[D]Yeah, whe[C]re are you tonight?
[D]But whe[C]re are you tonig[D]ht,
sweet [G]Marie?
Well, [Eb]I don't know how it happened
But the riverboat captain,
[G]he knows my fate
[Eb]But everybody else, even yourself,
you're all [G]just gonna have to [D]wait
Well, I got the [G]fever [C]down in [D]my pock[G]ets
P [C]-Persian drunkard [G]follows [D]me
And I can [G]take him to your house[C],
but I [D]can't unlock [G]it[Em]
You [Bm]see, forgot to leave me with the [D]key
Yeah, [C]where are you tonight?
[D]Whe[G]re are you tonight?
[Em]Oh, wher[C]e are you tonigh[D]t?
Ah, Steve [G]Marie
You
