CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD

G+G        C majorC         G+G        C majorC
She's a walking talking breathing New Age wonder, old time heathens
G+G         C majorC    D MajorD  G+G   C majorC D MajorD
Don't know what to make of Mary Jane
    G+G          C majorC      G+G        C majorC
'Cause she ain't trying to be no swami, she ain't mad at dad and mommy
G+G          C majorC          D MajorD
She don't curse the storm clouds when it rains

            G+G        D MajorD       C majorC        D MajorD
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she make everything look fine
    G+G      D MajorD       C majorC       D MajorD
She got moon in her eyes, crescent windows on the skies
    E minorEm         C majorC       E minorEm      A augmentedA
And the rain comes down in sheets on the people in the streets
    C majorC        D MajorD         C majorC      D MajorD        G+G
And it carries all the secrets that they keep to the river where she sleeps


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD


  G+G        C majorC       G+G          C majorC
She comes to me when I'm dejected, leaves her soul out unprotected
G+G         C majorC     D MajorD    G+G   C majorC D MajorD
Tells me that the truth can make me free
  G+G          C majorC         G+G         C majorC
And she don't need what she ain't got, she reads me books by Alan Watts
G+G         C majorC        D MajorD
Speaking words o' wisdom: "Let it be"


            G+G        D MajorD       C majorC       D MajorD
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she take thunder for a sign
    G+G      D MajorD     C majorC      D MajorD
She got stars in her head, supernovas in her bed
    E minorEm        C majorC     E minorEm         A augmentedA
And it rains most every day, but I (like it fine that way
      C majorC       D MajorD       C majorC      D MajorD        G+G
'Cause the waters run so marvelous and deep in the river where she sleeps

INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD  (2x)


G+G      C majorC          G+G         C majorC
Mary ain't inclined to drinking, still she stumbles without thinking
G+G      C majorC    D MajorD    G+G   C majorC D MajorD
Anywhere she gets the urge to stray
  G+G     C majorC        G+G         C majorC
And everybody knows about her, they don't want to change or doubt her
G+G          C majorC        D MajorD
They just grin when she comes out to play


            G+G        D MajorD      C majorC        D MajorD
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she be moving down the line
    G+G      D MajorD     C majorC       D MajorD
She got bells on her toes, generations in her clothes
    E minorEm       C majorC      E minorEm       A augmentedA
And she sings without a sound as the evening rolls around
    C majorC       D MajorD        C majorC       D MajorD        G+G
And she dances as the twilight shadows creep down the river where she sleeps


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD


  G+G       C majorC        G+G         C majorC
Professor come to burst my bubble, says that girl is bound for trouble
G+G        C majorC  D MajorD   G+G  C majorC D MajorD
Serves me solace in a paper cup
    G+G        C majorC        G+G         C majorC
But it looks a bit like agent orange and when he leaves he slams the door and
G+G        C majorC         D MajorD
Just about that time she phones me up


            G+G        D MajorD       C majorC          D MajorD
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she just ain't the worrying kind
    G+G       D MajorD        C majorC       D MajorD
She got dogs, she got cats, she keeps rabbits in her hats
    E minorEm       C majorC         E minorEm      A augmentedA
And the people that she sees, they're all buddhas or police
    C majorC          D MajorD      C majorC      D MajorD        G+G
And the banks rise high and perilous and steep by the river where she sleeps


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   G+G C majorC   D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD  (2x)


  G+G       C majorC       G+G        C majorC
Now one dismayed December dawn. I wake to find my Mary's gone
  G+G         C majorC      D MajorD  G+G   C majorC D MajorD
And no one knows when she'll come back again
  G+G       C majorC         G+G        C majorC
And all the silent temple bells from Styx to Glenn to Hazel Dell
  G+G        C majorC           D MajorD
Are mourning all the nights that might have been


            G+G        D MajorD       C majorC            D MajorD
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she just leave this world behind
    G+G       D MajorD       C majorC        D MajorD
She got wheels in her smile, she can coast along for miles
    E minorEm      C majorC       E minorEm       A augmentedA
Me, I'm walking all alone, feeling soulful to the bone
    C majorC     D MajorD        C majorC      D MajorD        G+G
'Til I stop and I hang my head and weep by the river where she sleeps
