^GMary, you're covered in ^Croses You're covered in ^Gashes, you're covered in ^Drain You're covered in ^Gbabies, you're covered in ^Cslashes You're covered in ^Gwilderness, you're covered in ^Dstains

You cast a^Gside the sheet, you cast a^Cside the shroud Of a^Gnother man, who served the world ^Dproud You greet a^Gnother son, you lose a^Cnother one On some ^Gsunny day and always you ^Dstay, ^GMary

^EmJesus says, "Mother I ^Ccouldn't stay another day ^Glonger" ^EmFlies right by, leaves a ^Ckiss upon her ^Gface While the ^Emangels were singing his ^Cpraises in a blaze of ^Gglory Mary ^Amstays behind and starts cleaning up the ^Cplace

Oh ^GMary, she moves be^Chind me She leaves her ^Gfingerprints every^Dwhere Every time the ^Gsnow drifts, every way the ^Csand shifts Even when the ^Gnight lifts, she's always ^Dthere

^EmJesus says, "Mother I ^Ccouldn't stay another day ^Glonger" ^EmFlies right by, leaves a ^Ckiss upon her ^Gface While the ^Emangels were singing his ^Cpraises in a blaze of ^Gglory Mary ^A7stays behind and starts cleaning up the ^Cplace

Oh ^GMary, you're covered in ^Croses You're covered in ^Gruin, you're covered in ^Dsecrets You're covered in ^Gtreetops, you're covered in ^Cbirds Who can sing a ^Gmillion songs without any ^Dwords

You cast a^Gside the sheets, you cast a^Cside the shroud Of a^Gnother man, who served the world ^Dproud You greet a^Gnother son, you lose a^Cnother one On some ^Gsunny day and always you ^Dstay ^GMary ^{C G}
