D
Well I'm all gassed up

           C
The car is waitin' outside

      G
I got three more hours on this loser's job

              D           A
And then I'll be ready to ride

      D
I got this cowboy comin' with me

                   C
This guy's name is Jeffrey Jack

                 G
He can shoot the eyes out of a pool ball

                 D                    A
He can get those young girls into the sack

           D
We'll drop down to the dance hall

               C
Locals will be kickin' up their heels

           G
They'll be drinkin' tequila sunrises

          D                          A
Until the morning light fills up the window sills
[chorus 1]
              G    A                D
And then I'll be       with Sugar Marie

          G           A                        D
She's the only girl I know that can make me forget about me

                       G    A           D
Come on and dance with me       Sugar Marie

          G          A                           D
She don't ask me any questions when it's time to leave
[break] D Dsus2 C G (X2) [verse]
          D
She works down at the truck stop

          C
Where she polishes the spoons

         G
She gets colas and burgers for the boys

         D               A
On those hot summer afternoons

      D
She's got this girlfriend named Linda

                 C
Linda's got a tattoo that says Christ

         G
Well she ain't half bad to talk to

      D                       A
And I reckon she looks pretty nice

            D
We'll drive down to the dance hall

              C
Sittin' there waitin' on me

           G
Jesus, you know it feels pretty good

                     D                A
And sometimes I need some good ole company
[chorus 2]
              G    A                D
And then I'll be       with Sugar Marie

          G           A                        D
She's the only girl I know that can make me forget about me

                       G    A           D
Come on and dance with me       Sugar Marie

          G           A                   G                    A
She don't ask any questions and she don't flirt with the other boys

               D          C             G     D
She belongs to me Sugar Marie   Sugar Marie
[bridge]
    C
I never thought I needed no one

D
I can make a big enough mess myself

C
Oh, but when I finally found someone

D                          A           G   A          D
She made me respect myself   dance for me     Sugar Marie
[chorus 3]
          G           A                        D
She's the only girl I know that can make me forget about me

Shake that thing for me       Sugar Marie

          G              A                       D
She don't ask me any questions when it's time to leave

        C             G     
Sugar Marie   Sugar Marie...

                                  D
