the song goes . . . .

first verse :

D G
alone tonight in somebody’s bed
G D
she gone and dyed her hair red
D G
she only went and did what she did
G D
’cause he would drive her home then
D G
there’s lipstick on her new dress
G D
she hadn’t even paid yet
D G
but it doesn’t matter where the money went
G D
it wasn’t how she paid her rent

chorus :

D C A D
one , two , three marlenas
D G
there’s got to be someone we can trust
G D
out here among us

verse 2 : ( same chords as above and rhythm )

now lookin’ out across the city lights
she thought they’d be a good pair
now he could make a living sellin’ cars
maybe she could work there
she’s gonna pick a star in the night
and pray to make it all right
she tried so hard not to pick a kite
she always prayed to heaven lights

chorus : ( same as above but repeated )

one , two , three marlenas
there’s got to be someone we can trust
out here among us

one , two , three marlenas
it’s see no , speak no , hear no evil about us
the three marlenas

verse 3 : ( same as other verses )

man , i think i’m gonna buy myself a rolls
maybe a chevrolet
one where i can pull that top down
just let my radio play
now i’m headin’ out on that highway
i’m goin’ right out of state
now i ain’t lookin’ back until i’m gone
right through heaven’s gates

chorus : ( same as other 2 chorus )

one , two , three marlenas
there’s got to be someone we can trust
out here among us

one , two , three marlenas
ya see no , speak no , hear no evil among us
the three marlenas
three marlenas
three marlenas
