Intro G C Am G
G C
Mary Anne, do you remember
Am
The tree by the river
G
When we were seventeen?
G C
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
Am
And the mare in the pasture
G
Pitch black and baring its teeth
G C
I recall the sun in our faces
Am
Stuck and leaning on braces
G
And being strangers to change
G C
Radio and the bones we found frozen
Am
And all the thorns and the roses
G
Beneath your window pane
Am G
Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world
Am
To a potty-mouth girl
G
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
Am G
Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say
Am
But I wonder to who
G G
What it is you're saying today

Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon

Happy just to be with you

And you were happy for me
