Absolutely Sweet Marie chords

[D]Well, your railroad gate, [G]you know I [A7]just can't jump [D]it
[G]Sometimes it gets [D]so hard, you se[A7]e
I'm just [D]sitting here [G]beating [A7]on my trum[D]pet
[Bm]With [F#m]all these promises you [D]left for m[A7]e
But where [G]are you to[A7]night, sweet Ma[D]rie?

[D]Well, I waited for you [G]when I [A7]was half[D]sick
Yes, I [G]waited for you [D]when you hated [A7]me
Well, I [D]waited for you [G]inside of the [A7]frozen traf[D]fic
[Bm]When you [F#m]knew I had some other [D]place to be
[A7]Now, whe[G]re are you tonight, [A7]sweet Marie?

[D]Well, [Bb]anybody can be just like [D]me, obviously
But [Bb]then, now again, not too many can be like yo[D]u, fortunate[A7]ly.

Well, six white [D]horses [G]that you [A7]did prom[D]ise
Were [G]fin'lly delivered do[D]wn to the penitentia[A7]ry
But to [D]live outside the [G]law, you mu[A7]st be hon[D]est
[Bm]I [F#m]know you always say that y[D]u agree
[G]But where are you to[A7]night, sweet Ma[D]rie?

Well, [Bb]I don't know how it happened
But the river-boat captain, [D]he knows my fate
But [Bb]ev'rybody else, even yourself
They're just [D]gonna have to wa[A7]it.

Well, I got the [D]fever [G]down[A7]in my pock[D]ets
The [G]Persian drunk[D]ard, he follows [A7]me
Yes, I can [D]take him to your [G]house but I [A7]can't unl[D]ock it
You [F#m]see, you forgot to leave me wi[D]th the key
[A7]Oh, [G]where are you to[A7]night, sweet Ma[D]rie?

Now, I been in jail [G]when [A7]all my ma[D]il showed
That a [G]man can't give his address [D]out to bad compa[A7]ny
And now I [D]stand here [G]lookin' at your [A7]yellow rail[D]road
[Bm]In the [F#m]ruins of your [D]balco[A7]ny
Wond'ring where [G]you are to[A7]night, sweet Marie.[D]
