Tuning: Standard

B
She lived on a curve in the road
G
In an old tar paper shack
B                                    G
On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks
D                A
Sometimes on the way into town
G                         G
We say 'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
B                 A             G             A
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
G            A        B         
Wild eyed... Crazy... Mary

G, B Repeated 2 times

B                      G
Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
B                   G
Their old blue car, we used to race
D                     A
Little country store, with a sign tacked to the side
B                           G
Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED'
B                           G
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd

Chorus
~~~~~~
B              A              G             A
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around
[Repeat 3 Times]

B
One night thunder cracked, Mercy backed outside her windowsill
E
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
B 
Looked down into the house of Mary
F#                E
Terrible thought, newspaper covered walls
B
And Mary rising up above it all.....

B, E, B, E, B, B, A, G#m, G, F#

B
Next morning on the way into town,
G 
Saw some skid marks and followed them around
B                         G                        B
Over the curb through the fields into the house of Mary
A                           G
That what you fear the most will meet you half way  (2x)

[Repeat Chorus 3 Times]
