Bruce Springsteen – Marie (Guitar)

   C               C/B          Am
Marie, she comes to me in the twilight

               Dm                     Am         Em               Fmaj7
When the wind blows down 'cross the river, so cold the fishermen cry

      C            C/B             Am
She rapes me in a rage of rainbow violence

         Dm                Am             Em             Fmaj7
'Til my bare nerves, they sing like the strings of a violin

         Am         C6            F
And the room seeps into a savage silence

  Am                      C6             F
Soaked in colors, red as blood, blue as night

       C                  G                  Am         Em
And Marie she skins me alive, carves her initials in my side

Dm                           Gsus
Lures me with her purr, then cuts me with her knife

         F                 C                         F               C
And the horses pound like thunder, they bolt like lightning on her range

      F                C              Gsus          G
She feels she's going under and she zeroes in the rein

            F  |  C  C/B | Am G
She's so strange

         C             C/B                         Am
Well, Marie, you know, she's the queen of all the stallions

     Dm                Am                   Em         Fmaj7
And I'm her prince of mules and one of her principal fools

   C                   C/B        Am
Marie, she's got the claws of a falcon

             Dm             Am           Em              Fmaj7
And she's perched upon my shoulder, and slowly digging in

     Am       C6             F
But she, oh she can be so strange sometimes

             Am                     C6                  F
Oh, like at night when the coyotes whine or when the neighbors come to dine

   C                   G                 Am         Em
Marie, she skins me alive, burns her initials in my hide

           Dm                  Gsus
And then leaves me all alone branded to the bone

        F                     C                 F           C
And my heart pounds like her horses, oh, stampeding on the range

    F                 C               Gsus               G
Marie knows all the sources and she shoots me with her pain

              F            C                    C/B
And for her, I take it, Lord, down in my veins

                 Am                                              F         G        F           Fsus2
And I watch her dance like some berserk fairy all across the concrete prairies of Bleeker Street

  C   C/B          Am
Marie, she can be so strange

               F              G          C   C/B
But she's the only lonely cowgirl on my range

        Am                  F                 C
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
