This continues behind the singing 

Two chord progressions are present in the song: 
I:  Bb | Eb | Cm | Bb 
II: Eb | Bb | Cm | Bb 


Chord progression I 
Bb                    Eb 
   Maryanne, do you remember 
                 Cm 
the tree by the river 
                 Bb 
when we were seventeen? 

(same chords) 
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer 
and the mare in the pasture 
pitch black and baring its teeth. 

I recall the sun in our faces, 
stuck and leaning on braces, 
and being strangers to change. 

Radio and the bones we found frozen, 
and all the thorns and the roses 
beneath your window pane. 


Chord progression II 
Eb                      Bb 
   Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world 
       Cm 
to a potty mouthed girl, 
                            Bb 
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds. 

(same chords) 
"Time isn't kind or unkind," you liked to say. 
But I wonder to who 
And what it is you're saying today.

Chord progression II 
Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world 
to a potty mouthed girl, 
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds. 

Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say. 
But I wonder to who 
And what it is you're saying today. 


Chord progression I 
Mary Anne, do you remember 
the tree by the river 
when we were seventeen? 

Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon; 
happy just to be with you, 
and you were happy for me.
