The technique used to play each chord is the same as the one used in "Stop This Train" (also by John), the
parts that are played differently are tabbed (e.g. the Intro).

LYRICS
 
[Verse]
Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
Oh Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
And if you’re further up the road, can you show me what I still can’t see?
 
[Verse]
Remember me, I’m the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Remember me, I’m the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Now I wonder what you think, when you see me on the magazine
 
[Verse]
From time to time, I go looking for your photograph online
From time to time, I go looking for your photograph online
Some county judge in Ohio is all I ever find
 
[Verse]
Dear Marie, tell me do you still believe in me?
Dear Marie, tell me do you still believe in me?
Well I’ve got my dream, but you’ve got a family
Yeah I’ve got that dream, but you’ve got yourself a family
Yeah I’ve got that dream, but I guess it got away from me
