Big Thief - Mary: chords

F
Burn up with the water
F
The floods are on the plains
F
The planets in a rose
F
Who knows what they contain?
F
And my brain is like an orchestra
F
Playing on, insane
F
Will you love me like you loved me
in the January rain?

F
Mom and Dad and violins
A#              F
Somber country silence
F
The needle stopped the kicking
      C
The clothes pins on the floor
        F
And my heart is playing hide and seek
A#                 F
Wait and count to four
          C
Will you love me like you loved me and
     A#             F
I'll never ask for more

A#
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
 F
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
         C
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
      F
Your hands were making artifacts
in the corner of my mind

Chorus:
A#
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
F
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
A#
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
F
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
      C
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
     F
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
    A#
The marching band
When April ran
     F
May June bugs fly and
      C
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
A#                             F
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book

We overcome the sirens
We look both left and right
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
But now you're out of sight
And you'll kiss me like you used to
in the January night

What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
Your hands were making artifacts
in the corner of my mind

Chorus
