 Marvin,
         D
He was a friend of mine,

And he could sing a song,
             D
His heart in every line.

G        Em
 Marvin,
            D
Sang of the joy and pain,
          C
He opened up our minds,
                D
And I still can hear him say;

Bridge 1:

    Em             C
Aw, talk to me, so you can see;

What's going on.

 Say you will, sing your songs,
    Em7
For-evermore, evermore.

Gonna be some sweet sounds,
Em
 Coming down,
       D
On the nightshift.

I bet you're singing proud,
                 G
Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd.

Gonna be a long night,
              Em
It's gonna be alright,
       D
On the nightshift.
               C
Oh you found a-nother home,
              D
I know you're not alone,
       G           Em7
On the nightshift.

 Jackie,

Hey what you doing now?

It seems like yesterday,
             D
When we were working out.

G        Em
 Jackie,
    C       D
You set the world on fire.
             C
You came and gifted us,

Your love it lifted us,
Higher and higher.
