CAPO: 2nd Fret



Intro:
G C G C

Verse 1:
G            C
Mary, you're covered in roses
         G            D
You're covered in ashes, you're covered in rain
         G             C
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
         G               D
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains

Verse 2:
     G             C
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
  G                D
Of another man, who served the world proud
      G           C
You greet another son, you lose another one
    G            D   G
On some sunny day and always you stay, Mary


Chorus:
Em          C             G
Jesus says, "Mother I couldn't stay another day longer"
Em            C       G
Flies right by, leaves a kiss upon her face
     Em           C           G
While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory
   Am                   C
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place


Verse 3:
  G         C
Oh Mary, she moves behind me
        G         D
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
        G             C
Every time the snow drifts, every way the sand shifts
       G             D
Even when the night lifts, she's always there


Chorus:
Em          C             G
Jesus says, "Mother I couldn't stay another day longer"
Em            C       G
Flies right by, leaves a kiss upon her face
     Em           C           G
While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory
   A7                   C
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place


Verse 4:
  G            C
Oh Mary, you're covered in roses
         G            D
You're covered in ruin, you're covered in secrets
         G              C
You're covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
        G             D
Who can sing a million songs without any words


Verse 5:
     G             C
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
  G                D
Of another man, who served the world proud
      G           C
You greet another son, you lose another one
    G            D
On some sunny day and always you stay
G   C  G
Mary
