Crazy Mary Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]She lived on the curve in the road
[F]In an old, tar-paper shack
[Am]On the south side of the town
On [F]the wrong side of the tracks
[C]Sometimes on the way[G] into town we'd say
"Ma[F]ma, can we stop and give her a ride"?
[Am]Sometimes we did[G]
But her [F]hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, [G]crazy Mary

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Down a long dirt road,
[F]past the Parson's place
[Am]That old blue car
[F]we used to race
[C]Little country[G] store
With a [F]sign tacked to the side
Said 'No [Am]L-O-I-T-E-A-R-R-I-N-G Al[F]lowed'
[Am]Underneath that sign
Always congregat[F]ed quite a crowd

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Take a bottle, drink it down[G],
[F]pass it around (dr[G]ink it down)
[Am]Take a bottle, drink it down[G]
(pass it a[F]round)
Pass it around [G](Pass it a[Am]round)
Take a bottle, drink it [G]down, pass it
[F]Pass it a, [G]pass it arou[Am]nd

[Bridge 1]
[Am]One night thunder cracked
Mercy backed outside her window sill
[D]Dreamed I was flying high
above the trees over the hills
[A]Looked down into the house of Mary
[E]Bare bulb hung,
[D]newspaper-covered walls
[A]And Mary rising above it all

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Next morning on the way into town
[F]Saw some skid marks
and followed them a[Am]round
Over the curve, through the [F]fields
Into the house of Ma[Am]ry
That what you [G]fear the most
Could meet [F]you halfway
That what you [G]fear the most
Could meet [F]you halfway

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Take a bottle, drink it down[G],
(drink it [F]down) pass it around [G](pass it around)
[Am]Take a bottle, drink it down[G], pass it a
[F]Pass it around (Pa[G]ss it arou[Am]nd)
Take a bottle, drink it [G]down, pass it
[F]Pass it a, [G]pass it arou[Am]nd[F]
