G  D D7
G


Verse 1:


D
Black Mary bless your heart
Em
Born at the end of an age
G

When the punk girls fake all their grit
A
And they love in the very same way
D
But you were their jack knife queen
Em
Ransacked and agonized
G
By the virgin boys and their rabid swing
A
They scratch at your door in the dead of night
A7
Foaming at the mouth screaming take a sight


Chorus:


        Em
Or just leave
                          A
But she can't turn down a nice little kiss from a fool like me
        Em
She's a thief
                A
She stole every white blood, wet-dream wandering eye
A7
The boys fail to keep her every time they try

Verse 2:


D
Black Mary what's it like
Em
To dive in deep with the dead
G
To curse the fools and their whiskey jive
A
To join in on what you resent
D
The church says you've gone insane
Em
The nurse says you've gotta get out
G
But you're stuck inside where you pray for rain
A
You watch at your window at a heavy cloud
A7
But nothing ever falls in your lovesick drought


Chorus:


      Em
So it seems
                          A
But she can't turn down a nice little kiss from a fool like him
        Em
She's a thief
                A
She stole every white blood, wet-dream wandering eye
A7
The boys fail to keep her every time they try
        Em
(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)
                A
She stole every white blood, wet-dream wandering eye
        Em
(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)
                A
She takes what she gets when she leaves what she finds
        Em
(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)
                A
She stole every white blood, wet-dream wandering eye
A7
The boys fail to keep her every time they try
