She's a walking talking breathing New Age wonder, old time heathens
G                                              C                 D         G            C    D  
Don't know what to make of Mary Jane
                  G                                                 C                              G                                         C  
'Cause she ain't trying to be no swami, she ain't mad at dad and mommy
G                                                 C                                                    D  
She don't curse the storm clouds when it rains
                                                             G                                      D                                    C                                      D  
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she make everything look fine
                     G                            D                                    C                                    D

                     Em                                            C                                 Em                              A  
And the rain comes down in sheets on the people in the streets
                  C                                      D                                            C                            D                                      G  
And it carries all the secrets that they keep to the river where she sleeps
                 G    C            G    C            G    C            D    G    C    G    D  
          G                                         C                                 G                                                 C  
She comes to me when I'm dejected, leaves her soul out unprotected
G                                            C                      D                 G            C    D  
Tells me that the truth can make me free
          G                                                 C                                              G                                            C  
And she don't need what she ain't got, she reads me books by Alan Watts
G                                            C                                      D  
Speaking words o' wisdom: "Let it be"
                                                             G                                      D                                    C                                 D  
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she take thunder for a sign
                     G                              D                         C                              D  
She got stars in her head, supernovas in her bed
                  Em                                      C                         Em                                            A  
And it rains most every day, but I (like it fine that way
                             C                                 D                                 C                            D                                      G  
'Cause the waters run so marvelous and deep in the river where she sleeps

Mary ain't inclined to drinking, still she stumbles without thinking
G                              C                    D                 G              C    D  
Anywhere she gets the urge to stray
          G                      C                                         G                                              C  
And everybody knows about her, they don't want to change or doubt her
G                                                 C                                         D  
They just grin when she comes out to play
                                                             G                                      D                              C                                      D  
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she be moving down the line
                     G                              D                      C                                    D  
She got bells on her toes, generations in her clothes
                     Em                                    C                              Em                                 A  
And she sings without a sound as the evening rolls around
                     C                                 D                                         C                                    D                                      G  
And she dances as the twilight shadows creep down the river where she sleeps

        G                                    C                                         G                                            C  
Professor come to burst my bubble, says that girl is bound for trouble
G                                         C         D            G         C    D  
Serves me solace in a paper cup
                  G                                         C                                         G                                            C  
But it looks a bit like agent orange and when he leaves he slams the door and
G                                      C                                              D  
Just about that time she phones me up
                                                             G                                      D                                    C                                                    D  
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she just ain't the worrying kind
                     G                                 D                                      C                                    D  
She got dogs, she got cats, she keeps rabbits in her hats
                     Em                                    C                                            Em                            A  
And the people that she sees, they're all buddhas or police
                     C                                                 D                              C                              D                                      G  
And the banks rise high and perilous and steep by the river where she sleeps
                 G    C            G    C            G    C            D    G    C    G    D  
          G                                    C                                    G                                      C  
Now one dismayed December dawn. I wake to find my Mary's gone
          G                                            C                            D         G              C    D  
And no one knows when she'll come back again
          G                                    C                                            G                                         C  
And all the silent temple bells from Styx to Glenn to Hazel Dell
          G                                         C                                                         D  
Are mourning all the nights that might have been
                                                             G                                      D                                    C                                                              D  
When the sun refuse to shine she don't mind, she just leave this world behind
                     G                                 D                                    C                                      D  
She got wheels in her smile, she can coast along for miles
                     Em                            C                                 Em                                 A  
Me, I'm walking all alone, feeling soulful to the bone
                  C                         D                                         C                            D                                      G  
'Til I stop and I hang my head and weep by the river where she sleeps
