Well, your railroadgate, you know I just can't jump it.
G                 D               A7
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see.
         D           G          A7         D       Bm
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet,
     F#m                    D          A7
with all these promises you left for me.
          G              A7            D
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?

         D            G       A7      D
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick.
       G              D             A7
Yes I waited for you when you hated me.
         D            G              A7        D        Bm
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
         F#m                    D         A7
When you knew I had some other place to be.
           G              A7            D
Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?

      Bb                       D
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviosly,
     Bb                                          D             A7
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
                 D     G         A7     D
Well, six white horses that you did promise me
      G                    D                 A7
Where finaly delivered down to the penitentiary.
       D                G           A7      D       Bm
But to live outside the law, you must be honest.
  F#m                         D       A7
I know you always say that you agree,
     G                   A7            D
But where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?

               D   G     A7         D
Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed
       G                          D               A7
That a man can't give his address out to bad company,
          D           G              A7         D         Bm
And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad
       F#m           D       A7
In the ruins of your balcony,
               G                A7           D
Wond'ring where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?

             Bb                                             D
Well I don't know how it happened,But the riverboat captain,he knows my fate
    Bb                                          D                  A7
But ev'rybody else, even yourself, they're just gonna have to wait.
                D    G     A7        D
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets,
    G            D               A7
The Persian drunkard, he follows me.
            D               G            A7          D       Bm
Yes, I can take him to your house, but I can't unlock it.
    F#m                             D        A7
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key.
    G                    A7            D
Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie ?

Bob Dylan - Absolutely Sweet Marie
Bob Dylan - Absolutely Sweet Marie Copyright - 1966 Columbia Records "Absolutely Sweet Marie" is a song written by Bob Dylan, released on his 1966 double album Blonde on Blonde. An exuberantly up-tempo number, "Sweet Marie" is full of diverse, often hardly disguised sexual imagery. During a 1991 interview published in Paul Zollo's book Songwriters on Songwriting, Expanded Fourth Edition (New York: Da Capo Press, 1997), Dylan gives an idea of how he sees the song in his explanation of a line about a "yellow railroad": That's about as complete as you can be. Every single letter in that line. It's all true. On a literal and on an escapist level.... Getting back to the yellow railroad, that could be from looking someplace. Being a performer, you travel the world. You're not just looking out of the same window everyday. You're not just walking down the same old street. So you must make yourself observe whatever. But most of the time it hits you. You don't have to observe. It hits you. Like, "yellow railroad" could have been a blinding day when the sun was so bright on a railroad someplace and it stayed on my mind.... These aren't contrived images. These are images which are just in there and have got to come out. The song contains the phrase "To live outside the law you must be honest." Jonathan Lethem points to a very similar line in the 1958 film The Lineup: "When you live outside the law, you have to eliminate dishonesty" and that Dylan "heard it..., cleaned it up a little, and inserted it into" this song. Dylan did not perform "Sweet Marie" live until 1988, and has intermittently played it since, including during a session for his MTV Unplugged appearance. Lyrics: Well, your railroad gate, you know I just can't jump it Sometimes it gets so hard, you see I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet With all these promises you left for me But where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well, I waited for you when I was half sick Yes, I waited for you when you hated me Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic When you knew I had some other place to be Now, where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately. Well, six white horses that you did promise Were fin'lly delivered down to the penitentiary But to live outside the law, you must be honest I know you always say that you agree But where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Well, I don't know how it happened But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate But ev'rybody else, even yourself They're just gonna have to wait. Well, I got the fever down in my pockets The Persian drunkard, he follows me Yes, I can take him to your house but I can't unlock it You see, you forgot to leave me with the key Oh, where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed That a man can't give his address out to bad company And now I stand here lookin' at your yellow railroad In the ruins of your balcony Wond'ring where you are tonight, sweet Marie.
