Marie
Tono: Original
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
I stood in line and I left my name
G Am
took about six hours or so
Am
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
G Am
said they'd let me know
Dm
I put in my time till the Pocono line
Am Dm
shut down two years ago
Am
I was staying at the mission till I met Marie
G Am
now I can't stay there no more
[Verse 2]
Am
Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man
G Am
to move some old cars around
Am
maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out van
G Am
and do a little settlin' down
Dm
Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride
Am Dm
and the junkyard's a pretty good ways
Am
that job's about a half week old besides
G Am
it'd be gone now anyway
[Verse 3]
Am
Unemployment said I got no more checks
G Am
and they showed me to the hall
Am
my brother died in Georgia some time ago
G Am
I got no one left to call
Dm
Summer wasn't bad below the bridge
Am Dm
a little short on food that's all
Am
Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat
G Am
we're headed down into fall
[Verse 4]
Am
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
G Am
hustled up a little dough
Am
but I got drunk and I woke up rolled
G Am
a couple of months ago
Dm
they got my harp and they got my dollar
Am Dm
them low life so and so's
Am
harps cost money and I ain't got it
G Am
it's my own fault I suppose
[Verse 5]
Am
The Pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin'
G Am
two freights everyday
Am
if it was just me I'd be headed south
G Am
but Marie can't catch no train
Dm
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby,
Am Dm
says we gotta wait and see
Am
in my heart I know it's a little boy
G Am
hope he don't end up like me
[Verse 6]
Am
Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file
G Am
I gotta stand in line again
Am
I want to kill him but I just say no
G Am
I had enough of that line my friend
Dm
I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold
Am Dm
I'm feelin' too low down to lie
Am
I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth
G Am
hope she don't break down and cry
[Verse 7]
Am
Marie she didn't wake up this morning
G Am
she didn't even try
Am
she just rolled over and went to heaven
G Am
my little boy safe inside
Dm
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them
Am Dm
caught a Chesapeak on the fly
Am
Marie will know I'm headed south
G Am
so's to meet me by and by
Am
Marie will know I'm headed south
G Am
so's to meet me by and by
