Mean Mary - Wherefore Art Thou, Jane
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C G C G C G F G C
[Verse 1]
A hound bays in the Gdistant dark, a Fwhippoorwill takes Gflight
CJane is on aGnother lark, Fpassing Gthrough the Cnight
Like a fox that Gflees her cage, Fjust because she Gcan
CLike a lady Gcome of age, a Fwoman Gwith a Cplan
[Chorus]
She Fcomes and Cgoes like Gsummer Crain
As Fflighty Cas a Gwhooping crane
As Frestless Cas a Gweather Cvane
Oh, Fwherefore Gart thou, CJane?
[Interlude]
C G C
[Verse 2]
Going up or Ggoing down, Fgoing fast and Gfar
CUp a hill or Gthrough a town, or Fto a Gdistant Cstar
She’ll cut the string and Gtake her fling, or Fsit and watch the Gsky
Or Cturn her hand to Ganything, or Fkiss it Gall goodCbye
[Chorus]
She Ftakes the Cball and Gbreaks the Cchain
FPours preCcaution Gdown the drain
FBubbles Cover Glike chamCpagne
Oh, Fwherefore Gart thou, CJane?
[Instrumental]
(banjo break)
[Verse 3]
In the land of Gmidnight peril, on the Fshore of anyGwhere
That Cdreams fly free and Gferal, oh, Fyou will Gfind Jane Cthere
You might not find the Gwords that rhyme to Fmake a perfect Gsong
But Cif you find the Gtime sometime, FJane might Gsing aClong
[Chorus]
She Fcomes and Cgoes like Gsummer Crain
As Fflighty Cas a Gwhooping crane
As Frestless Cas a Gweather Cvane
Oh, Fwherefore Gart thou, CJane?
[Chorus]
She’s Ffickle Cas fiGnancial Cgain
Sells Ftrouble Clike an Gad campaign
She Ftakes the Crisk and Grisks the Cpain
Oh, Fwherefore Gart thou, CJane?
[Interlude]
C G C
[Verse 4]
Another hound bays Gin the night, and Fsomeone wonders Gwhy
CDid a prowler Gcome in sight, or Fdid Jane Gjust pass Cby?
Like a fox that’s Gfree of cage, Flike a Peter GPan
CLike a lady Gcome of age, a Fwoman Gwith a Cplan
[Chorus]
She Ftakes the Cball and Gbreaks the Cchain
FPours preCcaution Gdown the drain
FBubbles Cover Glike chamCpagne
Oh, Fwherefore Gart thou, CJane?
[Chorus]
She’s Fsweet and Cgood and Gtrue and Csane
FSimple Cas a Gdaisy chain
FSweeter Cstill while Graising Ccane
Oh, Fwherefore Gart thou, CJane?
