[Verse 1]
D A Bm G
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
D A F#m A
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
D A Bm G
We go down to the ri-ver where the willows weep
D G F#m A
Take a naked root for a lovers seat
D A Bm G
That rose out of the bitten soil
D G F#m A
But bound to the ground by creeping ivy coils
D A Bm G
O Mary you have seduced my soul
D G F#m A (D)
Forever a hostage of your child's world
[Link 1]
D A Bm G
D G F#m A
[Verse 2]
D A Bm G
And then I ran my tin-cup heart along
D G F#m A
The prison of her ribs
D A
And then with a toss of her curls
Bm G
That little girl goes wading in
D G A
Rollin her dress up past her knee
D A Bm G
Turning these waters in-to wine
D G F#m A (D)
Then she plaited all the wil - low vines
[Link 2]
D A Bm G
D G F#m A
D A Bm G
Mary in the shallows laughing
D G F#m A
Over where the carp dart
D G Bm G
Spooked by the new shadows that she cast
D G F#m A (D)
Across these sad waters and a-cross my heart
[Outro]
D A Bm G
D G F#m A (x3)
