The technique used to play each chord is the same as the one used in "Stop This Train" (also by John), the

LYRICS
[Verse]
Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
Oh Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
And if you’re further up the road, can you show me what I still can’t see?
[Verse]
Remember me, I’m the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Remember me, I’m the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Now I wonder what you think, when you see me on the magazine
[Verse]
From time to time, I go looking for your photograph online
From time to time, I go looking for your photograph online
Some county judge in Ohio is all I ever find
[Verse]
Dear Marie, tell me do you still believe in me?
Dear Marie, tell me do you still believe in me?
Well I’ve got my dream, but you’ve got a family
Yeah I’ve got that dream, but you’ve got yourself a family
Yeah I’ve got that dream, but I guess it got away from me
