Get Ready Marie chords by Patty Griffin

Chords with lyrics

[Verse]

G+G                 G*          G+G
She was a pretty good looking young girl
                       D MajorD
And she kissed me in such a way
G+G                 G*          G+G
But to get anything, she said show me the ring
    D MajorD                G+G
The way they did in those days


[Pre-Chorus]

    B7B7                   G+G
Well I never thought too much about it
  C majorC              G+G
If I was the marrying kind
    B7B7                  G+G
But any young man worth his salt or a damn
A7A7                  D MajorD
Has other things on his mind

[Chorus]

    G+G            C majorC        G+G
Get ready Marie, get ready Marie
                        D MajorD
Get ready for dreams to come true
    G+G            C majorC            G+G
Get ready Marie, get ready for me
            D MajorD                G+G
There’s so many things we can do


[Verse]

G+G                 G*          G+G
Well I awoke drunk from the night before
                       D MajorD
On the morning of my wedding day
G+G                 G*              G+G
And the best man said man, the best thing to do
    D MajorD                G+G
Is just keep going that way


[Pre-Chorus]

    B7B7                        G+G
But my pretty young bride wasn’t laughing
    C majorC                        G+G
When I tripped and fell down the aisle
    B7B7                       G+G
And though I was a pain, still no one could complain
    A7A7               D MajorD
That I wasn’t wearing a smile

[Chorus]

    G+G            C majorC        G+G
Get ready Marie, get ready Marie
                        D MajorD
Get ready for dreams to come true
    G+G            C majorC            G+G
Get ready Marie, get ready for me
            D MajorD                G+G
There’s so many things we can do


    B7B7                        G+G
No this isn’t the end of our story
      C majorC                  G+G
No our marriage stuck like a habit
    B7B7                     C majorC
But I had a good hunch, when she kissed me a bunch
        A7A7                   D MajorD
She could do other things like a rabbit

    G+G            C majorC        G+G
Get ready Marie, get ready Marie
                        D MajorD
Get ready for dreams to come true
    G+G            C majorC            G+G
Get ready Marie, get ready for me
            D MajorD                G+G
