David Allan Coe - Crazy Mary
Capo 1

Intro:
D A D A

Chorus:
D
Crazy Mary from London Berry
C#
Lives next door to the cemetery
C
How many lovers have you buried
G
We would shout, running scared
D         C#        B
Along the green and golden paths
     A             C         C#    D    A
That took us home, away from Crazy Mary.

D
In the lamplight burning low
C#
Dimly through enchanted woods
C
She rocks beside the fire that never was lit
G                D  C# B
And as we ran on by
                 A
Pretending to be frightened
                              D    A
We'd shout and laugh at Crazy Mary.

D
She would never answer us
C#
Smiled through the window softly
C
Wild-eyed and wild-haired but we were sure
G                   D
That in the dark of night
    C#        B                A
She cursed us soundly, casting spells
                    C#   D
And such to turn us into donkeys.

Chorus:
D
So it seems that older now
C#
We stand upon this wind-swept moor
C
The lonely grave before us
G                                   D      C# B
Testifies that Crazy Mary sings and dreams
   B
He dreams somewhere
    A                C        C#     D     A
But not where little kids can follow after
D
And on the stone, these words, dear friend
C#
Please write me down as one who loved
C
The raven-haired and laughing lads
G
That swore that they would marry me
    D          C#                C
And soon their sons came running by
                           C#    D     A
And here I lie, forgotten, Crazy Mary.

Chorus:
