Mary On A Wave

	  		Intro: 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                               G          Gmaj7 
  Saw the babies all bathed in champagne 
   Am7                  C 
So many miles of dirt I traveled 
                      G            Gmaj7 
Just to park here in your shade 


Cmaj7           Em7          C C/B C/A C/G 
Borne away on a wave of love 
Am7             C 
Borne away on a wave 



Interlude 
G  Em7 Bm/D x2 


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                            Bm/D 
And they'll be coming to collect within the next few hundred weeks 

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


Cmaj7           Em7          C C/B C/A C/G 
Borne away on a wave of love 
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                                  C 
Our parents are fading out, fading out, fading out 
                 G          Gmaj7 
Into the fuzzy fuzz 
  Am7                         C 
"I can't", I gasp, I gasp and pant 
                                G      Gmaj7 
I can't get enough air into my 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           Gmaj7 
And dying, in a studio somewhere 


Cmaj7           Em7          C C/B C/A C/G 
Borne away on a wave of love 
Am7             C 
Borne away on a wave
