(I'll keep it simple and let you figure out the picking yourselves... pick between A and
when it says A for a start and make your way from there.)

Intro:
A, D/A... (A few times)

 A
 Mara Lisa waves her hand at the car
 EE7A
 With a stick and a rose-colored shawl
 FA
 Fighting of tears of a dull and a deafening pain
 F#G
 They'll repay every senseless act
 AGF#
 They ever borrowed from you
(G, A) B E E7
 A
Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa?

 AmGF#
 Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades
(G, A) B E E7
 A
Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa?

 A
 Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard
 EE7A
Up onto the porch to a sip of tea
 FA
Wounded soldier with a cane and a bitter remedy
 F#G
You'll repay every senseless act 
 AGF#
To the boys who were dead in the field
(G, A) B E E7
 A
Oh you know they're were already killed, don't you, Mara Lisa?
 F#G
You'll repay every trick you pulled
 AGF#
On the boys that were lost out at sea
(G, A) B E E7
 A
Oh they drowned in your memory, didn't they, Mara Lisa?

 AmGF#
 Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades
(G, A) B E E7
 A
Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa?

 BmE
 Were you even capable of love?
 AGF#
If you were, then how do you know
 BmE
 Innocence keeps tabs on the ones it can't see
 BmGD/F#EE7
 It wet it's lips, and it said "Mara Lisa"   

 A
 Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard
 EE7A
Up onto the porch to a sip of tea
 FA
Wounded woman with a cane and a sad remedy
 F#G
You'll repay every senseless act
 AGF#
 They ever borrowed from you
(G, A) B E E7
 EA
 Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa?
