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 

( G  C  Am ) 
( G  C  Am  G ) 

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 
What it is you're saying today 

G                     C 
Mary Anne, do you remember 
                Am 
The tree by the river 
                  G 
When we were seventeen? 
  
G                                   C 
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon 
                  Am 
Happy just to be with you 
                       G 
And you were happy for me
