 			 Crazy Mary
 

   Bm
   She lived on a curve in the road
 

   G
   In an old tar paper shack
 

   Bm                                   G
   On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks
 

   D                A
   Sometimes on the way into town
 

   G                         G
   We say 'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
 

   Bm                A             G             A
   Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
 

   G            A        Bm         G    Bm    G   Bm
   Wild eyed... Crazy... Mary
 

   Bm                     G
   Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
 

   Bm                  G
   Their old blue car, we used to race
 

   D                     A
   Little country store, with a sign tagged to the side
 

   Bm                           G
   Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED'
 

   Bm                          G
   Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
 

   Bm             A              G                  A
   Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around    (3x)
 

   B
   One night thunder cracked, Mercy backed outside her windowsill
 

   E
   Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
 

   B 
   Looked down into the house of Mary
 

   F#                E
   Terrible thought, newspaper covered walls
 

   B
   And Mary rising up above it all.....
 

   B     E    B    E    B    B    A    G#m    G    F#
   ah... ah...
 

   Bm
   Next morning on the way into town,
 

   G 
   Saw some skid marks and followed them around
 

   Bm                        G                        Bm
   Over the curb through the fields into the house of Mary
 

   A                           G
   That what you fear the most will meet you half way  (2x)
 

   Bm                        A        G         A
   Take a bottle drink it down, pass it around (3x)
