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

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


INSTRUMENTAL: G  C     G  C     G  C     D  G  C  G  D


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


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


INSTRUMENTAL: G  C     G  C     G  C     D  G  C  G  D   (2x)


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


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


INSTRUMENTAL: G  C     G  C     G  C     D  G  C  G  D


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


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


INSTRUMENTAL: G  C     G  C     G  C     D  G  C  G  D   (2x)


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


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