Capo 1st Fret

B7: x21202

A augmentedA            D MajorD            A augmentedA
Mary, you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
         E MajorE
You're covered in rain
         A augmentedA             D MajorD
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
         A augmentedA               E MajorE
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
     A augmentedA             D MajorD
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
  A augmentedA                E MajorE
Of another man, who served the world proud
      A augmentedA           D MajorD
You greet another son, you lose another one
    A augmentedA            E MajorE   A augmentedA
On some sunny day and always you stay, Mary

D MajorD          E MajorE             A augmentedA
Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
D MajorD              E MajorE       A augmentedA
Flies right by me, leaves a kiss upon her face
     D MajorD           E MajorE           A augmentedA
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
       B7B7               D MajorD      E MajorE
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place

  A augmentedA         D MajorD
Oh Mary, she moves behind me
        A augmentedA         E MajorE
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
        A augmentedA             D MajorD
Every time the snow drifts, every way the sand shifts
       A augmentedA             E MajorE
Even when the night lifts, she's always there

D MajorD          E MajorE             A augmentedA
Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
D MajorD              E MajorE       A augmentedA
Flies right by me, leaves a kiss upon her face
     D MajorD           E MajorE           A augmentedA
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
       B7B7               D MajorD      E MajorE
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place

  A augmentedA            D MajorD            A augmentedA
Oh Mary, you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin
         E MajorE
You're covered in secrets
         A augmentedA              D MajorD
You're covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
            A augmentedA         E MajorE
Who can sing a million songs without any words
     A augmentedA             D MajorD
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
  A augmentedA                E MajorE
Of another man, who served the world proud
      A augmentedA           D MajorD
You greet another son, you lose another one
    A augmentedA            E MajorE
On some sunny day and always you stay
         A augmentedA
Always you stay, Mary, Mary, Mary
D MajorD  A augmentedA
