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

[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
                     G    A           D
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...
 
 
SPOKEN:
                                  D
Hey girl I wish we could tear the heart
Out of this old town tonight
