Mary, you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
E
You're covered in rain
A D
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
A E
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
A D
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
A E
Of another man, who served the world proud
A D
You greet another son, you lose another one
A E A
On some sunny day and always you stay, Mary

Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer

While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory

Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
A D
Oh Mary, she moves behind me
A E
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
A D
Every time the snow drifts, every way the sand shifts
A E
Even when the night lifts, she's always there
F#m D A

Oh Mary, you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin
E
You're covered in secrets
A D
You're covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
A E
Who can sing a million songs without any words
A D
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
A E
Of another man, who served the world proud
A D
You greet another son, you lose another one
A E
On some sunny day and always you stay

Always you stay, Mary, Mary
