LAm
She lived on a curve in the road
FA
In an old tar paper shack
LAm FA
On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks
DO SOL
Sometimes on the way into town
FA FA
We say 'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
LAm SOL FA SOL
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
FA SOL LAm
Wild eyed... Crazy... Mary
F, Am Repeated 2 times
LAm FA
Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
LAm FA
Their old blue car, we used to race
DO SOL
Little country store, with a sign tacked to the side
LAm FA
Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED'
LAm FA
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Chorus
~~~~~~
LAm SOL FA SOL
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
[Repeat 3 Times]
LAm
One night thunder cracked, Mercy backed outside her windowsill
RE
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
LAm
Looked down into the house of Mary
MI RE
Terrible thought, newspaper covered walls
LAm
And Mary rising up above it all.....
Am, D, Am, D, Am, Am, G, F#m, F, E
LAm
Next morning on the way into town,
FA
Saw some skid marks and followed them around
LAm FA LAm
Over the curb through the fields into the house of Mary
SOL FA
That what you fear the most will meet you half way (2x)
[Repeat Chorus 3 Times]
