G           C              D/F#
Sometimes I drive out to Topanga
      G          C       D/F#
And I park my car in the sand
G            C                  D/F#
Watching and waiting for a pickup
        D/F#
From my man


G         C                D/F#
And maybe down to Farmer's Market
G                     C              D/F#
Those people, they're working in the sun
G       C             D/F#
Buy and sell it for a profit
     Em              Em  D  C  D7  G
To anyone


G        C               D/F#
Oh Mary, I'm in the deep waters
         Bm               C     D7
And it's way, way over my head
C                     G
Everyone thought I was smarter
Am      C       D7
Than to be this dead


G               C                  D/F#
You've heard of trainwrecks in the mountains
G                 C                 D/F#
Sometimes there's shipwrecks on the sea
G              C         D/F#
Mary, you must always be careful
          Em        Em  D  C  D7  G
Can't you see?


G        C               D/F#
Oh Mary, I'm in the deep waters
         Bm               C     D7
And it's way, way over my head
C                     G
Everyone thought I was smarter
Am      C       D7
Than to be this dead


G         C               D/F#                       
Someone's sick in San Francisco
G        C             D/F#
Some are down in New Orleans
G          C            D/F#
Others are kept in Camarillo
        Em        Em  D  C  D7  G
Picking beans


G        C               D/F#
Oh Mary, I'm in the deep waters
         Bm               C     D7
And it's way, way over my head
C                     G
Everyone thought I was smarter
Am      C       D7
Than to be this dead
