Cover of Victoria Williams' "Crazy Mary"
[Strophe]
Am                                F 
  she lived on a curve in the road  in an old tar paper shack 
Am                                   F 
  on the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks 
C                  G 
  sometimes on the way into town we say 
  F 
  mama can we stop and give her a ride 
Am             G           F 
  sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side 
F             G       Am          F 
 wild eyed...crazy...Mary
[Strophe]
Am                     F 
  down a long dirt road  past the Parson's place 
Am                  F 
  their old blue car  we used to race 
C          G                     F 
  a little country store, with a sign tacked to the side 
         Am                     F 
  said no L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G allowed 
Am                                       F 
  underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
[Refrain]
Am                        G     F              G 
  take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around 
   
  take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around, pass it a 
Am                        G                F          G 
  take a bottle, drink it down, pass it a, pass it a, pass it around
[Pont]
A 
 one night the thunder cracked, mercy backed outside her windowsill 
D 
 dreamed I was flying high, above the trees, over the hills 
A 
 looked down into the house of Mary 
E                    D 
  bare bulb on, newspaper covered walls 
A 
  and Mary rising up, above it all 
A   D    A   D   A   A   G   F#m  F   E 
ah...... ah......
[Strophe]
Am 
   next morning on the way into town   
F 
   we saw some skid marks and followed them around 
Am                           F                         Am 
  over the curb, through the fields, into the house of Mary
[Pont]
              G                       F 
that what you fear the most will meet you half way 
              G                       F 
that what you fear the most will meet you half way
[Refrain]
Am                        G     F              G 
  take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around 
   
  take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around, pass it a 
Am                        G                F          G 
  take a bottle, drink it down, pass it a, pass it a, pass it around
