C
She worked that summer in an ice cream stand
          C
I'd give dun buggy tours through the sawgrass sand
        F               G                           C
I could hardly wait, to take my breaks and talk to you

Park on the bluff overlooking the sea
C
Share my pipe and you kiss my cheek 
          F                 G                C
You said farm boy wont you take me far from here

            F         C
I'd say Marianne, Marianne
            G           C
You know I want you so bad
       F           C
But I just can't leave 
        G           C
This coastal town sand
            F              C                  G
But I'll always be right here when you come back
      F     G      C
Oh my sweet,  Marianne

C
Even as kids when we'd ride our bikes
C
Even back then I'd watch your eyes
           F              G               C
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
       F                   G                       C
But I knew there'd come a day I have to let go of you

I'd say Marianne, Marianne
            G           C
You know I want you so bad
       F           C
But I just can't leave 
        G           C
This coastal town sand
            F              C                  G
But I'll always be right here when you come back
      F     G      C
Oh my sweet,  Marianne

Knowing you're not here

         C
Wake up strung out neath the pier

Sometimes when I go driving

I see you walking on the sand
              G
Oh my sweet Marianne

You know I want you so bad
       F           C
But I just can't leave 
        G           C
This coastal town sand
            F              C                  G
But I'll always be right here when you come back

Oh my sweet,  Marianne

Just last night i met a cool girl
C
Up from the city so I took her for a whirl
         F              G                     C
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
              F              G                        C
And for the first time I rememeber I didn't think of you
