?Mary Ann & One-Eyed Dan?
By Shovels & Rope
?Swimmin? Time?
C majorC
A minorAm
Mary Ann was a waitress at the circus
FF 
G+G C majorC
Dan was a writer for the Delaware locale observer
A minorAm
Just 21 and just 2 months out of the service
FF G+G C majorC
Missing half an eyelid so he had to wear a patch?
A minorAm
Mary Ann introduced herself to Dan
FF G+G C majorC
She said do you like the menu or do you need me to read it to you
A minorAm
Halfway angry half turned on and half confused
FF G+G C majorC
He took her by the arm and went out back to make a match
And he said?
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC
So long to my former life, to a worried life so long
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC
So long to a harder life, to a troubled life so long
A minorAm
Lying there under the soft glow of the sunrise
FF G+G C majorC
The moon was still awake and all the generators lowly humming
A minorAm
She picked a flower and fastened it on to his bad eye
FF G+G
She said come on let?s get married I think we might get along
C majorC
And she said?
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC
So long to my former life, to a selfish life so long
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC
So long to a bitter life, to a troubled life so long
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G x2
C majorC A minorAm
Dan he was no poet couldn?t dance he never slept
FF G+G C majorC
He had nightmares every night of rain and fire on those bloody beaches
A minorAm
Just then the dew dropped from the flower and he wept
FF G+G
Mary Ann you are a melody I think I wrote a song
C majorC
It goes like?
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC
So long to my worried life, to a lonesome life so long
A minorAm FF G+G
So long to a wandering life, to a wounded life so long
C majorC
And we all said?
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC
So long to those memories, to everything we can?t let go so long
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC FF
So long to our former selves, to our selfish selves so long
G+G A minorAm
To our selfish selves so long
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
To our selfish selves so long
