Mean Mary - Methinks i see thee jane

^GWhen the hush of night lays deep, ^Cwhen the moon shines ^Deerie red ^GWhen most watchers are asleep and ^Ceven nightmares ^Dstay in bed I^C waited and I ^Dwaited, to find the pictures in my ^Cmind But a scene I’d not cre^Dated and those pictures inter^Ctwined Within a tangled ^Ddream, a firefly flits a^Cbout A scene almost un^Dseen, just a flash, the flash goes out ^G

With contra^Ddictions all a^Cbout ^G My con^Dvictions turn to ^Cdoubt ^G D C ~ Am Oh, how bitter a thought’s free rein Methinks I ^Dsee thee, ^GJane ^{C D G C D}

Was ^Gthat a gleam of golden hair, ^Cflashing here, ^Dflashing there Or ^Gjust a dream caught unaware, a ^Cvision of the ^Dmoonlight’s glare ^C Hush, don’t say a ^Dword, your eyesight’s over^Cwrought Maybe something really ^Dstirred, maybe so or maybe ^Cnot No one is planting ^Dflowers in the prowling time of ^Cnight But in these short dark ^Dhours, even memories can bite ^G

What’s that ^Dform there in the ^Cdark? ^G Just a ^Dpine tree in the ^Cpark? ^G D C ~ Am Oh, let me not be mad, insane Methinks I ^Dsee thee, ^GJane ^{C D G C D}

^GWhen I finally think it through, ^Cfinally master ^Dmy confusion ^GNaughty shadows bend askew, ^Ccharging through my ^Dgrand illusion ^C Who’s there, who goes, who’s ^Dgoing? My involuntary ^Cwords Was it just the winds soft ^Dblowing, or nocturnal flocks of ^Cbirds? Was it just the hesi^Dtation of a deer before it ^Cfled Was it my imagi^Dnation, or was Jane somewhere ahead? ^G

A startled “^DHey”, a faint “Good^Cbye” ^G Then a^Dway, away she’ll ^Cfly ^G D C ~ Am Words, words, mere words remain Methinks I ^Dsee thee, ^GJane ^{C D G C D}

^GHigh above the city streets, ^Cperched upon a ^Dwindow sill A^Gbove the night-time city beats, ^Csang a lonely ^Dwhippoorwill ^C I heard it’s melancholy ^Dsong, I know she heard it ^Ctoo She’d been hidden all a^Dlong, oh, she saw me and with^Cdrew Has her minutes, has her ^Dways, but always a sur^Cvivor Plays a part to make her ^Dplays, she knows what she’s alive for ^G

To hide and ^Dseek or seek and ^Chide ^G Through windows ^Dsneak, through locks un^Ctried ^G D C ~ Am What light shines through yon window pane? Methinks I ^Dsee thee, ^GJane ^{C D G C D C}

Woah-^Goh-^Doh ^C Woah-^Goh-^Doh ^C Woah-^Goh-^Doh ^C Woah-^Goh-^Doh ^G

Like a ^Dlady, ^Clike a child ^G Always ^Dshady, ^Calways wild ^G D C ~ Am So foul and fair a day, deceives my brain Methinks I ^Dsee ^C Methinks I ^Dsee ^C Methinks I ^Dsee thee, ^GJane ^{C D G C D}
