VERSE 1:
Marie, Ma-[D#]-rie, playing guitar
on the back porch, I sit in my [A#] car
While she [G#] sings so [A#] sad
Marie, Mar-[D#]-ie

VERSE 2:
Marie, Ma-[D#]-rie, it's so lonely
in these farmlands, please come with [A#] me
To the [G#] bright lights down-[A#]-town
Marie, Ma-[D#]-rie

BRIDGE:
I said, [A#] "Hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand
I just want to be your lovin' man"

VERSE 3:
Marie, Ma-[D#]-rie, the sun is down
in the cornfields, the evening is [A#] dark
And you [G#] sing so [A#] sad
Marie, Mar-[D#]-ie

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]

VERSE 4:
Marie, Ma-[D#]-rie, I got two weeks
in back pay, there's gas in my [A#] car
And your [G#] folks say I must [A#] go
Marie, Ma-[D#]-rie

BRIDGE:
I said, [A#] "Hey, pretty girl
Don't you understand
I just want to be your lovin' man"

VERSE 5:
Marie, Ma-[D#]-rie, playing guitar
on the back porch, I leave in my [A#] car
While you [G#] sing so [A#] sad
Marie, Mar-[D#]-ie

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
