 B minorBm
I stood in line and left my name
        A augmentedA    B minorBm
Took about six hours or so

Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
       A augmentedA   B minorBm
Said they'd let me know

I put in my time till the pocono line

Now I can't stay there no more

Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man

To move some old cars around
   B minorBm
Maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out
          A augmentedA    B minorBm
Van and do a little settlin' down
    E minorEm
Aw, but I'm just dreamin'
I ain't got no ride
           D MajorD   E minorEm
And the junkyard's a pretty good ways

That job's about a half week old besides

It'd be gone now anyway

And they showed me to the hall

My brother died in Georgia some time ago

I got no one left to call

Summer wasn't bad below the bridge

Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat

We're headed down into fall

B minorBm
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good

Hustled up a little dough
  B minorBm
But I got drunk and I woke up rolled
      A augmentedA    B minorBm
A augmentedA couple of months ago
   E minorEm
They got my harp and they got my dollar
       D MajorD   E minorEm
Them low life so and so's

It's my own fault I suppose

The pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin'

If it was just me I'd be headed south

But Marie can't catch no train
   E minorEm
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby
D MajorD    E minorEm
Says we gotta wait and see
B minorBm
In my heart I know it's a little boy
         A augmentedA    B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
Hope he don't end up like me

Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file

I gotta stand in line again

I had enough of that line my friend

I head back to the bridge, it's getting kinda cold
          D MajorD    E minorEm
I'm feelin' too low down to lie

I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth

Hope she don't break down and cry

Marie she didn't wake up this morning
      A augmentedA  B minorBm
She didn't even try
B minorBm
She just rolled over and went to heaven
       A augmentedA   B minorBm
My little boy safe inside
 E minorEm
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them
          D MajorD   E minorEm
Caught a Chesapeake on the fly

Marie will know I'm headed south
        A augmentedA   B minorBm
So's to meet me by and by

Marie will know I'm headed south
        A augmentedA   B minorBm
So's to meet me by and by
