Mary Patty Griffin
[A]You're covered in [D]roses
You're covered in [A]ashes
You're covered in [E]rain
You're covered in [A]baby's
You're covered in [D]slashes
You're covered in [A]wilderness
You're covered in [E]stains
You cast [A]aside the sheets
You cast a[D]side the shroud
Of [A]another man who serves the world p[E]roud
And you [A]greet another son and you lose a[D]nother one
On some [A]sunny day and always [E]you stay
[A]Mary
[F#m]Jesus said mother I [D]couldn't stay another day l[A]onger
He [F#m]flies right by and leaves a [D]kiss upon her f[A]ace
While the [F#m]angels were singing his [D]praises in a blaze of g[A]lory
Mary stays [B7]behind and starts cleaning up the p[D]lace
Oh [A]Mary
She moves beh[D]ind me
She leaves her f[A]ingerprints everyw[E]here
Every time the [A]snow drifts
Every way the s[D]and shifts
Even when the [A]night lifts she's always t[E]here
[F#m]Jesus said mother I [D]couldn't stay another day l[A]onger
He f[F#m]lies right by and leaves a [D]kiss upon her f[A]ace
While the [F#m]angels were singing his [D]praises in a blaze of g[A]lory
Mary stays [B7]behind and starts cleaning up the p[D]lace
[A]Oh Mary
You're covered in [D]roses
You're covered in [A]ruins
You're covered in [E]secrets
You're covered in t[A]ree tops
Covered in [D]birds
Who can sing a [A]million songs without any[E] words
You cast as[A]ide the sheets
You cast a[D]side the shroud
Of [A]another man who served the world p[E]roud
And you greet [A]another son and you lose [D]another one
On some [A]sunny day and [E]always you stay
[A]Mary
