C
She worked that summer in an ice cream stand
C
I'd give dun buggy tours through the sawgrass sand
FGC
I could hardly wait, to take my breaks and talk to you
C
Park on the bluff overlooking the sea
C
Share my pipe and you kiss my cheek
FGC
You said farm boy wont you take me far from here
FC
I'd say Marianne, Marianne
GC
You know I want you so bad
FC
But I just can't leave
GC
This coastal town sand
FCG
But I'll always be right here when you come back
FGC
Oh my sweet, Marianne
C
Even as kids when we'd ride our bikes
C
Even back then I'd watch your eyes
FGC
You were never quite satisfied with the view
C
I was like a boy there holding his kite
C
I loved your colors and seeing you fly
FGC
But I knew there'd come a day I have to let go of you
FC
I'd say Marianne, Marianne
GC
You know I want you so bad
FC
But I just can't leave
GC
This coastal town sand
FCG
But I'll always be right here when you come back
FGC
Oh my sweet, Marianne
CF
I'm not saying I don't go crazy
C
Knowing you're not here
F
I'll probly fight again tonight
C
Wake up strung out neath the pier
F
Sometimes when I go driving
CAm
I see you walking on the sand
G
Oh my sweet Marianne
C and F picking 4th and 5th strings
FC
I'd say Marianne, Marianne
GC
You know I want you so bad
FC
But I just can't leave
GC
This coastal town sand
FCG
But I'll always be right here when you come back
FGAm
Oh my sweet, Marianne
FGC
Oh my sweet, Marianne
CC
Just last night i met a cool girl
C
Up from the city so I took her for a whirl
FGC
She was lovely, oh so lovely, but she wasn't you
C
But I kept your promise and I held her hand
C
We jumped in the ocean and away we swam
FGC
And for the first time I rememeber I didn't think of you
