Verse 1:
Am
I stood in line and 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
C 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 across town said he's looking 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 settling down
Dm
But I'm just dreaming, I ain't got no ride
C Dm
And the junk-yard'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
C 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
C 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 Chesapeake's running
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
C 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 grinning 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
C Dm
I'm feeling 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
C Dm
Caught a Chesapeake on the fly
Am
Marie will know I'm headed south
G Am
So's to meet me by and by
Outro:
Am
Marie will know I'm headed south
G Am
So to meet me by and by
Outro:
Am Am
