• Capo on 1st

Difficulty: Novice


FF
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
                     Bb majorBb
You're probably gonna die alone.
                    FF
Least that's what tradition told you.

And it don't matter if you don't believe,
                          Bb majorBb               FF
Come Sunday morning, you best be there in the front row like you're supposed to.


BbmBbm           FF
Same hurt in every heart.
BbmBbm              C majorC
Same trailer, different park.

Bb majorBb
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay.

Brother's hooked on Mary Jane.
FF
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
Bb majorBb
Mary, Mary quite contrary.

We get bored, so, we get married
FF             C majorC         Bb majorBb
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
                   FF                 C majorC
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
FF             C majorC     Bb majorBb
Where it stops nobody knows and it ain't slowin' down.
            FF
This merry go 'round.


FF
We think the first time's good enough.
                       Bb majorBb
So, we hold on to high school love.
                        FF
Sayin' we won't end up like our parents.

Tiny little boxes in a row.
                          Bb majorBb
Ain't what you want, it's what you know.
                        FF
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'.

BbmBbm                 FF
Same checks we're always cashin'
BbmBbm              C majorC
to buy a little more distraction.


Bb majorBb
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay.

Brother's hooked on Mary Jane.
FF
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
Bb majorBb
Mary, Mary quite contrary.

We get bored, so, we get married
FF             C majorC         Bb majorBb
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
                   FF                 C majorC
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
FF             C majorC     Bb majorBb
Where it stops nobody knows and it ain't slowin' down.
            FF
This merry go 'round.


Bb majorBb
Mary, Mary quite contrary.

We're so bored until we're buried
FF             C majorC         Bb majorBb
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
                   FF
On this broken merry go 'round


FF
Jack and Jill went up the hill.

Jack burned out on booze and pills.

And Mary had a little lamb.
                        FF
Mary just don't give a damn no more.


Thanks, y'all!
