Playing guitar on the back porch
GG Piano Chord 
           DD Piano Chord 

I sit in my car
DD Piano Chord 
     CC Piano Chord 
            DD Piano Chord 

While she sings so sad

Marie Marie
It's so lonely in these farmlands
Please come with me
To the bright lights downtown
Marie Marie

chorus:
GG Piano Chord 
        DD Piano Chord 

I said, "Hey, pretty girl
DD Piano Chord 

Don't you understand
DD Piano Chord 

I just want to be your lovin' man"

Marie Marie
The sun is down in the corn fields
The evening is dark
And you sing so sad
Marie Marie

Marie Marie
I got two weeks in back pay
There's gas in my car
And your folks say I must go
Marie Marie

(repeat chorus)

Marie Marie
Playing guitar on the back porch
I leave in my car
While you sing so sad
