this is the basic structure of the song "MARY" by the kings which has been played just a
times at Saratoga Performing Arts Centre and i think at Bonnaroo. The only decent
of the song that i can find is here: http://vimeo.com/12520689
and even still its only for the first 48 seconds of the song. Therefore when the album
released later this year, or a better and longer recording is found this tab may become
or be completely wrong lol but this is my attempt by ear for it. (also my first tab and
happy to hear any corrections)

On the final note of intro the 3rd fret on the A string, caleb comes in with what i
is a chord progression of c barre chord for 8 beats, then an f chord for 4 beats and a g
chord for 4 beats. this then repeats
e|----8------------1-------------3----------------------------------|
B|----8------------1-------------3----------------------------------|
G|----9------------2-------------4----------------------------------|
D|----10-----------3-------------5----------------------------------|
A|----10-----------3-------------5----------------------------------|
E|----8------------1-------------3----------------------------------|

C chord F chord G chord
Intro
then over the "Aaaah ahhh" from Nathan
C, F, G
then
Caleb:
Maaaaarrrryyyyyy
C F G
etc.
I assume that this pattern is repeated throughout the other verses of the song and at
point there is a solo, but as i have heard the rest of the song, i have no idea! haha
