*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS***** Mean Mary - Iron Horse CAPO: 3rd Fret [Intro] Am Em Am Em Am [Verse 1] We rode the plains as lovers do

We ^Emraced beneath the summer ^Amsun My dusky eyes met his so blue Our ^Emsoaring spirits breathed as ^Amone

[Verse 2] We blazed our love across the sky

Sur^Emrendered to its ancient ^Amforce Until the day he said goodbye And ^Emclimbed aboard the Iron ^Amhorse

[Chorus]

I heard its challenge, loud and ^Gshrill As we chased it ^Emup the Great Di^Amvide But though my steed had the stronger ^Gwill The iron ^Emhorse

N.C.

had the longer ^Amstride

[Instrumental] Am Em Am Em Am Em Am G Am G Em Am Em Am [Verse 3] Its whistle cut me like a blade

I ^Emloathed its screaming, smoky ^Amcry How could he leave his Indian maid? I’ll ^Emride like wind and ask him ^Amwhy

[Verse 4] Astride my fearless painted dun

I ^Emchose my pace and set my ^Amcourse To catch this demon on the run My ^Emsteed against this iron h^Amorse

[Chorus]

I heard its challenge, loud and ^Gshrill As we chased it ^Emup the Great Di^Amvide But though my steed had the stronger ^Gwill The iron ^Emhorse

N.C.

had the longer ^Amstride

[Instrumental] Am Em Am Em Am Em Am G Am G Em Am Em Am [Chorus]

It roared its challenge loud and ^Gshrill As it laboured ^Emup the Great Di^Amvide Though I had the stronger ^Gwill The iron ^Emhorse

N.C.

had the longer ^Amstride

[Verse 5] Through the thunder of its blare

I ^Emyelled my fury at the ^Ambeast Wasted words lost in the air As it ^Emroared its way forever ^Ameast

And the iron horse’s speed increased
