CAPO 1st fret intro: A D Bm

^AMary Anne, do you reme^Dmber the tree by the ^Bmriver when we were seven^Ateen?

^ADark canyon wall, the call and th^De answer and the mare in the ^Bmpasture pitch black and baring its ^Ateeth.

I recall the sun in our faces, stuck and leaning on braces, and being strangers to change. Radio and the bones we found frozen, and all the thorns and the roses beneath your window pane.

^BmNow I m asleep in a c^Aar, I mean the world to a ^Bmpotty-mouth girl, a pretty pair of blue-eyed ^Abirds.

^BmTime isn t kind or unkin^Ad, you liked to say. But I^Bm wonder to who what it is you re saying ^Atoday.

^AWhoo....^D ^Bm x2 Now I m asleep in a car, I mean the world to a potty-mouth girl, a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Time isn t kind or unkind, you liked to say. But I wonder to who what it is you re saying today. Mary Anne, do you remember the tree by the river when we were seventeen? Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon; happy just to be with you, and you were happy for me.
