Am


[Verse 1]
Am                            C
Show me your stripes said the zebra to
Am                       C
The wicked spider in the morning dew
Am                     C
I will provide for you shelter and wine
Am                            C
If you can prove that you are of my kind


[Chorus 1]
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F               E         Am
I'd break my wooden bones for you
Am          C       F
You took my crystal heart
             E
And shook it through and through
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F                E        Am
You broke my brittle bones in two
Am             C      F
You shook your silver hair
            E      Am
And sent me to the moon


[Bridge 1]
Am                         C
And then the spider turned onto its back
Am                      C
Displayed the colors in three neat tracks
          Dm
And said, when we go
   C  Am
We go alone


[Verse 2]
Am                  C
And so they crossed the windy field
Am                         C
The spider provided by the zebra's heels
Am                  C
And every bird from above did cry
Am                                C
You will be bitten boy and you'll surely die


[Instrumental 1]
Am  C  F  G  Am
Am  C  Am  C
Oo-oh,   Oo-oh


[Chorus 1]
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F               E         Am
I'd break my wooden bones for you
Am          C       F
You took my crystal heart
             E
And shook it through and through
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F                E        Am
You broke my brittle bones in two
Am             C      F
You shook your silver hair
            E      Am
And sent me to the moon


[Instrumental 2]

F  C  F  C


[Bridge 2]
Am
We may be different
Am
Two sides of the same fence
C
You bring your elegance
F
And me my dumb strength

Am
You were so kind to me
Am
Beneath the willow trees
C
You took my hand in yours
F
And I got down on my knees

Am
They said I couldn't see it clear
Am
They said that it would disappear
C
But when they came and sang their sermon
F
It fell upon deaf ears

Am
Because I see but I cannot hear
Am
And I feel but I cannot fear
C
And I knew you to be true
       F
When I saw you first come near


[Chorus 2]
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F               E         Am
I'd break my wooden bones for you
Am          C       F
You took my crystal heart
             E
And shook it through and through
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F           E        Am
I'd do it all again for you
Am             C      F
You shook your silver hair
            E      Am
And sent me to the moon


[Outro]
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F           E        Am
I'd do it all again for you
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F           E        Am
I'd do it all again for you
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F           E        Am
I'd do it all again for you
Am   C
O ho Maria!
    F           E        Am     Am
I'd do it all again for you
