Mary Jane chords by Judy Blank

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
E – A – E – A
E – A – E – E

Verse:
         F#m
How many times do I need to fix myself?
Learn another trick from my better half
    E
She knows, she knows
       F#m
That I try to look at things in a different light
and yet I don’t ever seem to do it right
  E
I know, I know

       F#m
That I drink too much and I eat too much
B7
everybody says I don’t sleep enough
       F#m
and yet I don’t ever get to see
    B7              E
the sunlight in the morning
             F#m
Right now, I don’t need the money
It’s all in the game
         B7
And yes, I could have a job
but it’s not the same
    F#m
And boy, I’m trying
    B7                           E
but nothing’s ever good enough

Chorus:
        A
So come on, sweet Mary Jane
Crawl into my head and relieve the pain
   E                                 E7
My cigarettes don’t taste as good as you
A
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
I’m gonna make it big someday
     Amaj7                                      E      A       E
I’ll wake up with my pockets full of gold

Verse:
              F#m
I make up the rules as I move, as I do my thing
                                                 E
Surprise, surprise, what the evening brings, you know
              F#m
Education has never done the trick for me
but I’ve got an A in toxicology
                 F#m                 B7           E
I’ve still got a million things that I could be tomorrow

              F#m
I know that I drink too much and I eat too much
         B7
and that everybody says I don’t sleep enough
    F#m
But why would I need to see
    B7              E
the sunlight in the morning?
             F#m
Right now, I don’t have the money
but papa’s got a lot
    B7
and he don’t mind
giving me some of what he’s got
          F#m
‘Cause he knows I’m trying
      B7                         E
but nothing’s ever good enough


Chorus:
         A
So come on, sweet Mary Jane
Crawl into my head and relieve the pain
   E                                 E7
My cigarettes don’t taste as good as you
A
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
I’m gonna make it big someday
     Amaj7                                      G#m7
I’ll wake up with my pockets full of gold
           Gm7  F#m7
It’s strictly medicinal
E
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
Keeps on telling me that I,
I could be anything

Bridge:
             E
Tired of the uptight,
               F#
try to see the good side
                  A
‘stead of looking down
                    E
tryin’ to criticize me.
               E
I’ll be riding shotgun
              F#                 B7
so that I can roll some magical green
‘til I am living the dream with my baby

I’ll wake up with my pockets full of gold

It’s strictly medicinal

E
Sweet, sweet Mary Jane
Keeps on telling me that I,
I could be anything
