Mary Tab por Big Thief

[Verse 1]

F
Burn up with the water
Bb                  F
The floods are on the plains
F
The planets in a rose
  C                     
Who knows what they contain?
F
And my brain is like an orchestra
Bb             F
Playing on, insane
          C
Will you love me like you loved me
 Bb              F
in the January rain?

F
 

[Verse 2]

F
Mom and Dad and violins
Bb              F
Somber country silence
 F
The needle stopped the kicking
     C
The clothes pins on the floor
      F
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Bb                 F
Wait and count to four
         C                         
Will you love me like you loved me 
         Bb            F
and I'll never ask for more


 
[Chorus]

Bb
What did you tell me Mary
 
When you were there so sweet and very
F
Full of field and stars
 
You carried all of time
        C
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
 
Your eyes were like machinery
     F
Your hands were making artifacts 
F
in the corner of my mind
 
 
Bb
Monastery monochrome
 
Boom balloon machine and oh
F
Diamond rings and gutter bones
 
Marching up the mountain
Bb
With our aching planning
 
High and smiling, Cheap drink
 
Dark and violent
F
Full of butterflies
 
The violent tenderness, The sweet asylum
    C
The clay you find is fortified
 
We felt unfocused fade the line
    F
The sugar rush, The constant hush
 
The pushing of the water gush
    Bb
The marching band
 
When April ran
    F
May June bugs fly and
        C
Push your gin Jacob
 
With the tired wiry brandy look
Bb                             F
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book

 
[Verse 3]

F
We overcome the sirens
   Bb                   F
We look both left and right
                            C
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
    F
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
     Bb                 F
But now you're out of sight
            C                   
And you'll kiss me like you used 
           Bb        F
to in the January night
 

[Chorus]

Bb
What did you tell me Mary
 
When you were there so sweet and very
F

You carried all of time
        C
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me

Your hands were making artifacts
