Lovely Mary Sweeney,
             C                                    G  
the famous window smasher
                                C                                              G  
Was just a quiet school marm - Oh de lay ee ee
                     D                    G  
from Lacrosse, Wisconsin
             G              D                    G  
She took a pinch of cocaine
             C                              G  
but only for her nerves
     C                                 G  
Laudanum for trembling hands,
                                             D              G      G7  
a little bottle in her purse
                                C  
She was a woodpecker,
                     G  
she couldn't help but see
C  
All the things that hide
                     D                                      G  
inside all the pretty trees
        G                      D                 G  
At dusk she took a train
                     C                                 G  
just a hammer in her bag
                                          C                              G  
She went from town to town - Oh de lay ee ee
                                          D                 G      G7  
smashing every pane of glass
Pre-Chorus
     C                                                      G  
Storefronts, mirrors, windshields
     C                                         G  
shattered in the night
        C                                         G  
A hammer through a window?s gleam
                                D                            G  G7  
filled the air with light
                                C  
She was a woodpecker,
                     G  
she couldn't help but free
C  
All the things that hide
                     D                                      G  
inside all the pretty trees
             G  D  G  C  G  C  G  D  G  
                                C  
She was a woodpecker,
                     G  
she couldn't help but free
C  
All the things that hide
                     D                                      G  
inside all the pretty trees
G                 D                    G  
In the state asylum
                     C                                 G  
the windows caged in bars
                     C                                 G  
They soaked her in an ice-cold bath
                                     D                 G  G7  
till she was seeing stars
Pre-Chorus
     C                                                      G  
Wrapped up in her straitjacket
             C                                              G  
her mind still hammered on
                             C                                                                 G  
Till the glass inside her smashed - Oh de lay ee ee
                                                D                         G  G7  
and she flew off into the trees
                                C  
She was a woodpecker,
                     G  
she couldn't help but see
C  
All the things that hide
                     D                                      G  
inside all the pretty trees
