verse 

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

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
