Capo 2
Verse -  G-  Em-  C- Am  
Chorus -  Bm-  Am-  Bm-  C- D  
GSacramento's hEmalf the city since you tCook that job two staAmtes away
GI count the dayEms as I wait these tables tryCing to save the funAmd to come and stay
And the Gsmiles on the outsEmide, couldn't be furCther from the truth if I trAmied
It's a fGight just to surviEmve, working two joCbs to keep the meter alAmive.
Old Mr Linden passed on his warmest regards from the window seat
Since his good wife took leave of this life he ain't half the man he use to be
And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if he tried
And the stars up the skies may as well burn out if you ain't by my side
BmOh Marianne, Marianne wAmait for me
BmOne day I will be your king and yCou will be my Dqueen
Instrumental -  G-  Em-  C- Am  
Remember Joe, well they let him go down at the saw mill on the edge of town
They say that pride can cost a man his life, well Joes taken to drinking now
And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if they tried
It's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive.
Oh Marianne, Marianne wait for me
One day I will be your king and you will be my queen
The orange groves that line these roads ain't gonna offer me no sympathy
The kids have grown and they miss you so, while you've been out there making history
And the smiles on the outside, couldn't be further from the truth if we tried
It's a fight just to survive, working two jobs to keep the meter alive.
Oh Marianne, Marianne wait for me
One day I will be your king and you will be my queen
