Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Mary Anne, do you remember

 the tree by the river

 when we were seventeen?

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.

Now Im asleep in a car, I mean the world

 to a potty-mouth girl,

 a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Time isnt kind or unkind, you liked to say.

 But I wonder to who

 what it is youre saying today.

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.
