 Marvin,

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;

 Coming down,

I bet you're singing proud,

Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd.

Gonna be a long night,
              Em
It's gonna be alright,
       D
On the nightshift.

Oh you found a-nother home,

I know you're not alone,

On the nightshift.

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

G        Em
 Jackie,

You set the world on fire.

Your love it lifted us,
Higher and higher.
