Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][Dm][G][C][G][Am][F][Dm]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
Mary [F]walks
Down to [Dm]the water's edge
[G]And there she hangs her head
To [C]find herself faded
[F]A shadow of what [Dm]she
once [G]was
She said, "how [Em]long have I
been [F]sleeping?
And why do I feel [Dm]so old?
[G]Why do I feel so col[C]d?
My heart is saying one thing
[F]But my body won[Dm]'t let go"[Am]

[Verse 2]
With [F]trembling [G]hands, she rea[F]ches up
[C]A s[Dm]tranger's flesh is off[G]ered[C]
[G]And I w[F]ould be t[G]he last[F] to k[C]now
[F]I would b[G]e the last to l[F]et it s[C]how
[F]I w[G]ould be the l[F]ast to g[C]o
[Dm][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
Take her hand
[F]She will lead you [Dm]through [G]the fire
[C]Oh and give you back hope
[F]And hope that you won't tak[Dm]e too much
[G]Respecting wha[Dm]t is left
She [C]cradled us
[F]Oh, she held us [Dm]in her a[G]rms[Dm]

[Verse 4]
Un[C]selfish in her suffering,
[F]she could not un [Dm]derstan[Am]d[Dm]
[C]That no [F]one see[G]med to
[F]have [C]the time
[Dm]To cherish what was [G]given
[F]Oh, and I [G]would be the [F]last [C]to know
And [F]I would b[G]e the last to l[F]et it s[C]how
[F]I would b[G]e the l[F]ast to g[C]o[Dm][G][C][F]
[Am]Mary walks
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
[G]
[C]Oh, and I w[F]ould be t[G]he last[F] to k[C]now
And [F]I would b[G]e the last to l[F]et it s[C]how
[F]I would b[G]e the l[F]ast to g[C]o

[Outro 1]
