Start Jamming...
Marlene, Marlene, I shot a doctor
Last night [E] on [C] the airplane
[Bm]
[A]
[Em] [D] Well they said he wouldn't hurt us
But he got me real nervous, I [G] mean
He was a fatty and he stank
God knows that he drank [E] more [C] than we do
[Bm]
So [A]
[Em] [D] I shot him in the first class
Then I bailed out and ran [G] home to you
But [G]
you don't [C] believe me
I can tell by [Em] your smile
[D]
Honey, [G] why won't [C] you leave me
You're [D] lost for a while
Marlene,
[G] Marlene, Marlene
There's a hole in between where [C] we come from
[Bm]
[Am]
And [D] the things that I'm thinking
Ain't necessarily the [A] things that I [G] say
I may have lied to myself
But I tried to tell [A] God how [C] I loved you
[Bm]
But [Am]
[D] even he don't answer his phone
[D] Anymore when I [G] pray
[D]
And [G] you don't [C] believe me
Well I can tell by [G] your [D] smile
[G] Honey, why don't you [C] leave me
Just get lost for a [D] while
Marlene,
[G]
[C] [G]
[A] [Am]
[D] [D]
[G]
you don't [C] believe me
Well I can tell by [G] your [D] smile
[G] Honey, why [A] don't you [C] leave me
Get lost for [D] a while
Marlene, [G] Marlene, Marlene
I shot a doctor
Last night [Bm] [C] on the airplane
[Bm]
[Am]
[E] [D] Well they said he wouldn't hurt us
But he got me real nervous
And [G] mean, [G] nervous and mean
[N]
