Merry Go 'Round Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
If [C]you ain't got two kids by twenty- one
You're probably gonna die [F]alone
Least that's what tradition told you
And [C]it don't matter if you don't believe
Come Sunday morning,
you best [F]be there in the front row,

[Pre-chorus 1]
like you're s'posed to
[Fm]Same hurt in every heart[C]
[Fm]Same trailer, different park[G]

[Chorus 1]
[F]Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
And [C]daddy's hooked on
Mary two doors down
[F]Mary, Mary, quite contrary
We get bored, so we get married
And [C]just like dust, we [G]settle in this [Am]town
On this [F]broken merry go [C]'round
and 'round and [G]'round we go
[Am]Where it stops, no[G]body [F]knows
And it ain't slowin' down
This merry go [C]'round

[Verse 2]
[C]We think the first time's good enough
So we hold on to high school [F]love
Say we won't end up like our parents
[C]Tiny little boxes in a row
Ain't what you want, it's what you [F]know

[Pre-chorus 2]
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'
[Fm]Same checks we're always cashi[C]n'
[Fm]To buy a little more distr[G]action

[Chorus 2]
[F]Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
And [C]daddy's hooked on
Mary two doors down
[F]Mary, Mary, quite contrary
We get bored, so we get married
And [C]just like dust, we [G]settle in this [Am]town
On this [F]broken merry go [C]'round
and 'round and [G]'round we go
[Am]Where it stops, no[G]body [F]knows
And it ain't slowin' down

[Interlude 1]
This merry go
[C]('round)
[C]
[F][F]

[Chorus 3]
[F]Mary, Mary, quite contrary
We're so bored until we're buried
And [C]just like dust, we [G]settle in this [Am]town
On this [F]broken merry go [C]'round
Merry go [F]'round

[Outro 1]
[C]Jack and Jill went up the hill
Jack burned out on booze and pills
And [F]Mary had a little lamb
Mary just don't give a damn no [C]more
