Mary On A Wave

G  Em7 Bm/D


[Verse 1]
G
Coal-black virgin spinning Above an 
open ocean
  Em7                   Bm/D
I hear, I feel, I need, I know
G
Seven sailors swimming, shipwrecked 
Seven smudgy mirrors
Em7                        Bm/D
         You gotta let 'em go

        Am7
Well I checked out the royal place
C                            
  Saw the babies all bathed in 
   G          Gmaj7
champagne
   Am7                  C
So many miles of dirt I traveled
                      G            
Just to park here in your shade
Gmaj7



[Chorus]
Cmaj7           Em7          C 
Borne away on a wave of love
C/B C/A C/G

Am7             C
Borne away on a wave


[Interlude]
G  Em7 Bm/D x2


Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
G
Well they picked poor Robin clean In
 the shadow ravine
Em7                         Bm/D
I seen the bones, I seen his teeth
G
Well, it's scrawled upon the streets
 Our enemy's victory's complete
              Em7               
And they'll be coming to collect 
             Bm/D
within the next few hundred weeks

        Am7                     
I get a little soft shiver in my 
 C
shoulder
Cause I think there's someone 
 G        Gmaj7
watching
         Am7                     
I get a little soft whistle in my 
  C
ears now
                               G   
But I guess it's just time passing
   Gmaj7



[Chorus]
Cmaj7           Em7          C 
Borne away on a wave of love
C/B C/A C/G

Am7             C
Borne away on a wave


[Interlude]
G  Em7 Bm/D x2


[Verse 3]
G
Blessed blue-black virgin shifting 
In the ocean's rhythm
Em7                   Bm/D
Partly living tissue, partly always 
hidden
G
Give me strength & vision Watch over
 the earth
              Em7
It's listing, lady, like it's almost
 broken
 Bm/D
Are my eyes now closed or opened?

    Am7                            
Our parents are fading out, fading 
      C
out, fading out
                 G          Gmaj7
Into the fuzzy fuzz
  Am7                         C
"I can't", I gasp, I gasp and pant
                                G  
I can't get enough air into my 
    Gmaj7
lungs
           Am7             C
I see the bald head of a vulture
                        G     Gmaj7
Come cresting up the stairs
C                     Am7
Time holds me, greenish-brown
                       G           
And dying, in a studio somewhere
Gmaj7



[Chorus]
Cmaj7           Em7          C 
Borne away on a wave of love
C/B C/A C/G

Am7             C
Borne away on a wave
