Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreaming 
D          Dsus4      D          Dsus4      G             Bm        F#m 
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming 
G                    A7sus4         Dsus4 D Dsus4 D 
Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving 
           G                        A7sus4 A7                Dsus4  D 
No, you're not too late to desecrate,  the servants are just rising 
                               G         Bm         D    Dsus4 
Well I'm just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade 
            D                                  G         Bm      F#m 
I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state 
G                    A7sus4                Dsus4  D 
Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing 
                G                        A7sus4 A7               Dsus4   D 
Woah you're not man enough for me to hate or    woman enough for kissing 


       F#m                             G               Em                 D     Dsus 
Oh the big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border 
           F#m                        G          Em     F#m      
Oh and the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order 
      G                               A7sus4                Dsus4   D 
But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queening 
          G                         A7sus4 A7                Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D 
Woah it's not too late to infiltrate,  the servants are just leaving 


                             G          Bm   D  Dsus4 
Mary queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceiving 
    D        Dsus4           D      Dsus4    G          Bm   F#m 
You wake and wait ooh to lie in bait and you almost got me believing 
    G                      A7sus4  A7          Dsus4 
But on your bed Mary I can see the shadow of a noose 
                                     G              A7sus4               Dsus4 D  
Woah I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose 
      G 
But I know a place where we can go, Mary 
            A7sus4                                      D    Dsus4 
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean 
           G                      A7                            Dsus4 D 
Woah I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen
