Verse 1
         G      C         G     C  G                       D
It's a darling girl, my darling girl with eyes as dark as night
       G        C  G              C             G       D       G
And a heart so true but just so strong, set to live a darling life
    G         C        G          C  G                          D
As years roll by, she'll grow up fine and she'll sing a silent song
           G          C           G            C
But she'll find your piano and she'll find her wings
           G             D    G
and she'll sing all the days long

Chorus
C                 G
I'm waiting on a ghost
D                    C
To show her lovin arms
G          D/F#        Em         C           G       D     G
and sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me


Verse 2
        G            C           G          C
Well go call on her brother and her sister too
G                  D
go call on all the town
          G    C         G         C         G       D       G
Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown
              G           C          G              C
And though it all came so fast, ten years soon will pass
G                        D
before there's room for three
    G          C          G         C
My sister will grow, my mother will know
       G           D        G
soon there will be room for me.


Chorus
C                 G
I'm waiting on a ghost
D                    C
To show her lovin arms
G          D/F#        Em         C           G       D     G
and sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me

Verse 3
        G       C     G        C
Like an old toy top spins and stops
    G                         D
Or tag and last walks in the ball
   G            C     G           C
A long summer's wait come winding down
           G      D      G
She'll be buried in the fall
G           C          G      C
And now she sleeps with you Marie
G                       D
bittersweet is this old world
      G       C       G       C       G       D      G
They tell me soon my sister too will have a darling girl


Chorus
C                 G
I'm waiting on a ghost
D                    C
To show her lovin arms
G          D/F#        Em         C           G       D     G
