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

She got moon in her eyes, crescent windows on the skies 
        Em                 C             Em            A 
And the rain comes down in sheets on the people in the streets

    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

        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

G            C                   G                  C      
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

        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 


Instrumental: G  C     G  C     G  C     D  G  C  G  D   (2x) 


    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
