Intro 
D  C#  E   

 
D           C# 
Marcie in a coat of flowers 
E               
Stops inside a candy store 
D                  C# 
Reds are sweet and greens are sour 
E                
Still no letter at her door 
G                  F# 
So she'll wash her flower curtains 
E                D# 
Hang them in the wind to dry 
Bm              C# 
Dust her tables with his shirt and 
E             
Wave another day goodbye 
 

 
D               C# 
Marcie's faucet needs a plumber 
E                
Marcie's sorrow needs a man 
D              C# 
Red is autumn, green is summer 
E                   
Greens are turning and the sand 
G             F# 
All along the ocean beaches 
E               D# 
Stares up empty at the sky 
Bm            C# 
Marcie buys a bag of peaches 
E                
Stops a postman passing by 
 

 
D#m 
And summer goes 
                           E 
Falls to the sidewalk like string and brown paper 
D#m 
 Winter blows 
                         E 
Up from the river there's no one to take her 
          C#  E   
To the sea  

{Instrumental} 
D  C#  E   (x5) 


 
D              C# 
Marcie dresses warm its snowing 
E               
Takes a yellow cab uptown 
D               C# 
Red is stop and green's for going 
E                               Bmaj7 
Sees a show and rides back down, down 
G         F# 
Along the Hudson River 
E                  D# 
Past the shipyards in the cold 
Bm                C# 
Still no letter's been delivered 
E                 
Still the winter days unfold 
 

 
D#m 
Like magazines 
                     E 
Fading in dusty grey attics and cellars 
D#m 
Make a dream 
                              E 
Dream back to summer and hear how he tells her 
           C#  E   
Wait for me 
D           C#  E   
Wait for me  

{Instrumental} 
D C#  E   (x4) 


 
D                 C# 
Marcie leaves and doesn't tell us 
E                 
Where or why she moved away 
D             C# 
Red is angry, green is jealous 
E                 
That was all she had to say 
G                    F# 
Someone thought they saw her Sunday 
E               D# 
Window shopping in the rain 
Bm                         C# 
Someone heard she bought a one-way 
E                 
Ticket, and went west again...
