Intro chords:
G C G C G D C G
C
And when those thoughts won't come
G
I know that the shakes will
C
And I've got no gun to my weary head
G
Hell I couldn't even hold the barrel still
C
Everybody loves a catch 22
G
Damned if you don't, son damned if you do
D C G
Outside it’s another day that I gotta make it thru
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jason_boland/mary_crd.html ]
Well I know that I said that it’d be all right
Yeah, it’s just going to take a little while
I’m tryin to wait with the patience of Job
It’s like busting down a prison using a broken file
To each his own, and so on
Think each of us might yeah we might own the wrong one
Yeah there might have been some constant cryin’
I’s just trying to have some fun
Chorus:
G C
Mary save me cause I'm sinkin'
C G
Won't you please throw me a line
G C
Mary save me cause I'm sinkin'
D C G
Mary I'm runnin out of time
They say hope springs eternal
Well I say eternity it springs up hope
It can overload my fevered mind
Then it’s gonna go looking for some ways to cope
So I’ve found the bottle or it found me
Tried to turn my future into history
Can anybody hear, can anybody see
