[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse]
G Cmaj7/G
Mary Anne, do you remember
Am7
The tree by the river
G
When we were seventeen?
G Cmaj7/G
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
Am7
And the mare in the pasture
G
Pitch black and baring its teeth
G Cmaj7/G
I recall the sun in our faces
Am7
Stuck and leaning on braces
G
And being strangers to change
G Cmaj7/G
Radio and the bones we found frozen
Am7
And all the thorns and the roses
G
Beneath your windowpane
[Chorus]
Am7 G
Now I’m asleep in a car
Am7
I mean the world to a potty-mouth girl
G
And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
Am7 G
Time isn’t kind or unkind, you liked to say
Am7
But I wonder to who
G
And what it is you’re saying today
[Instrumental]
G Cmaj7/G Am7 G x2
[Chorus]
Am7 G
Now I’m asleep in a car
Am7
I mean the world to a potty-mouth girl
G
And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
Am7 G
Time isn’t kind or unkind, you liked to say
Am7
But I wonder to who
G
And what it is you’re saying today
[Verse]
G Cmaj7/G
Mary Anne, do you remember
Am7
The tree by the river
G
When we were seventeen?
G Cmaj7/G
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon
Am7
Happy just to be with you
G
And you were happy for me
