Tuning: (from low to high) D G D G B D.......open G
there are two distinct chord progressions used in this song
which I call Patterns 1 & 2.
Pattern 1:
SOLm7 LA7
Marcie in the quilt of flowers
DO6add2 SOL DOadd2 SOL
Steps inside a candy store
SOLm7 LA7
Reds are sweet and greens are sour
DO6add2 SOL DOadd2 SOL SOL DOadd2 SOL
Still no letter at her door
MIb RE
So she'll wash her flower curtains
DO SI
Hang them in the wind to dry
SOLm7 LA7
Dust her tables with his shirt and
DO6add2 SOL DOadd2 SOL SOL DOadd2 SOL
wave another day goodbye
SOL DOadd2 SOL SOL DOadd2 SOL
........repeat Pattern 1 for the following :
Marcie's faucet needs a plumber
Marcie's sorrow needs a man
Red is autumn, green is summer
Greens are turning and the sand
All along the ocean beaches
stares up empty at the sky
Marcie buys a bag of peaches
stops a postman passing by
Pattern 2 :
SOLmaj7 DO(2)
And summer goes, falls to the sidewalk like string
and brown paper
SOLmaj7
Winter blows up from the river
DO(2)
There's no one to to take her......
SOL(2) LA7 DO6add2 SOL DOadd2 SOL SOLm7 LA7 DO6add2 SOL DOadd2 SOL
to the sea
.........use Pattern 1 for the following :
Marcie dresses warm, its snowing
takes a yellow cab uptown
red is stop and green's for going
Sees a show and rides back down
Down along the Hudson River
Past the shipyards in the cold
still no letter's been delivered
still the winter's days unfold
.......and Pattern 2 for this :
Like magazines fading in dusty grey attics
and servers make a dream
Dream back to summer
and all he tells her
Wait for me
.......back to Pattern 1 for :
Marcie leaves and doesn't tell us
Where, why she moved away
Red is angry, green is jealous
that was all she had to say
Someone thought they saw her Sunday
window shopping in the rain
Some heard she bought a one-way
ticket and went west again
