Freckled Mary

Em


[Verse 1]
Em
The first time I saw her she was messed up
                                   G
All out of breath and running her mouth
D                                 A          Em
Ma said she must be one of them criminal girls
Am      B7            Em
  All trouble nothing else

    Em
But me I always saw something different
                                   G
And I tried to get close any time I could
    D                             A             Em
And one day she stopped me in the alley way and jumped me
    Am       B7    Em
And asked me if I would


[Chorus]
          G                              C
And then right away I had wings for the day
       G                        D
And I looked on that land I was over
     Em            G                Am          Em
So I sit in the street and freckled Mary on her knees
        Am              B7              Em
Making sure that no one die till we got old


[Verse 2]
Em
Sometimes in her car she would tremble
                              G
And speak how hard her young heart aches
    D                       A               Em
My sisters got dusted, my brothers all got busted
Am          B7              Em
 Good Lord how much can you take

Em
And her face was a frenzy of freckles
                               G
Her eyes as dark as they were blue
     D                        A          Em
She put me in clothes in the custom continental
   Am       B7              Em
And told me exactly what to do


[Chorus]
          G                              C
And then right away I had wings for the day
       G                        D
And I looked on that land I was over
     Em            G                Am          Em
So I sit in the street and freckled Mary on her knees
        Am              B7              Em
Making sure that no one die till we got old

[Verse 3]
       Em
And we all wanna be part of something bigger
                                 G
But now all our friends they're gone
           D                              A
They were taken in from the rabbit inn rebellion
            Em               Am           B7          Em
Ended in a paddy wagon with freckled Mary yelling firebomb


[Chorus]
          G                              C
And then right away I had wings for the day
       G                        D
And I looked on that land I was over
     Em            G                Am          Em
So I sit in the street and freckled Mary on her knees
        Am              B7              Em
Making sure that no one die till we got old

          G                              C
And then right away I had wings for the day
       G                        D
And I looked on that land I was over
     Em            G                Am          Em
So I sit in the street and freckled Mary on her knees
        Am              B7              Em
Making sure that no one die till we got old
