Crazy Mary David Allan Coe
David Allan Coe - Crazy Mary
Capo 1
[D] [A] [D] [A]
Chorus:
[D]Crazy Mary from London Berry
[C#]Lives next door to the cemetery
[C]How many lovers have you buried
[G]We would shout, running scared
[D]Along the [C#]green and [B]golden paths
That [A]took us home, [C]away from [C#]Crazy [D]Mary.[A]
[D]In the lamplight burning low
[C#]Dimly through enchanted woods
[C]She rocks beside the fire that never was lit
[G]And as we ran on [D]by[C#] [B]
Pretending to be [A]frightened
We'd shout and laugh at Crazy [D]Mary.[A]
[D]She would never answer us
[C#]Smiled through the window softly
[C]Wild-eyed and wild-haired but we were sure
[G]That in the dark of [D]night
She [C#]cursed us [B]soundly, casting [A]spells
And such to turn us [C#]into [D]donkeys.
Chorus:
[D]So it seems that older now
[C#]We stand upon this wind-swept moor
[C]The lonely grave before us
[G]Testifies that Crazy Mary sings and [D]dreams[C#] [B]
He [B]dreams somewhere
But [A]not where little [C]kids can [C#]follow [D]after[A]
[D]And on the stone, these words, dear friend
[C#]Please write me down as one who loved
[C]The raven-haired and laughing lads
[G]That swore that they would marry me
And [D]soon their [C#]sons came running [C]by
And here I lie, forgotten, [C#]Crazy [D]Mary.[A]
Chorus:
[D] [A]
