E 
In the still water she lies down 
D 
Shaking in the press of sunlight 
A 
We rolled into Lexington 
E 
She shakes off the drop of daylight 
 
E 
Water beading up her chest 
D 
Bleeding down between her knees 
A 
Rivers in Kentucky flow 
E 
Between the bluegrass wavy seas 
 
D       E 
But oh, Marjorie 
D                A                   E 
Twists the knife once more inside of me 
 
Breathless with anticipation 
Baited breathers set their hooks 
Tuck their heads beneath the high grass 
And lie and wait beside the brooks 
 
{the first two lines run together with the first two words said real rapidly} 
For instance? pushing slowly through  
Frustration leading back along 
The alleys of a childhood 
Will not release us willingly 
 
But oh, Marjorie 
Sticks the knife in while I heard the sea 
 
{solo} 
F#m  B?  {repeat} 
 
 
Dust me off and shut me down 
And dream of where I haven't been 
Close the door inside my heart 
Stuck in the south Atlantic wind 
 
I have hollow eyes 
Haunting only to myself 
Even so, I can't stop calling  
This great big hollows in my self 
 
I took the train form California 
To the far side of the continent 
Woke up in Kentucky 
Where a wedding was about to end 
 
I looked up at Anna 
She turned back to look at me 
It's best to kill the ones that matter 
Render blind the ones who see 
 
But oh, Marjorie 
Takes the blade and walks away from me 
Oh, Marjorie 
Love like blood is pouring out of me 
Oh, Marjorie 
My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby 
 
{solo over F#m and B?} 
 
Oh, I can't shut it in 
It's got far too many doors to block the wind 
Oh, I can't shut it in 
It's got far too many doors to block the wind
