Intro: G G/B alternate picking 

verse 1: 
G       D     G 
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 

verse 2: 
     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 

verse 3: 
   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 

INTERLUDE: G D G C G C G D G 

 
            C 
She was a woodpecker,  
        G 
she couldn't help but free

All the things that hide

verse 4: 
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
