Iron & Wine


Tom: Bb

[Intro] G  C  Am  G

G                     C
Mary Anne, do you remember
                Am
The tree by the river
                  G
When we were seventeen?

G                                     C
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer
                     Am
And the mare in the pasture
                             G
Pitch black and baring its teeth

G                        C
I recall the sun in our faces
                     Am
Stuck and leaning on braces
                         G
And being strangers to change
G                             C
Radio and the bones we found frozen
                            Am
And all the thorns and the roses
                     G
Beneath your window pane

[Refrão]

Am                    G
 Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world
      Am
To a potty-mouth girl
                         G
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
Am                      G
 Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say
        Am
But I wonder to who
                          G   G
What it is you're saying today

( G  C  Am )
( G  C  Am  G )

Am                    G
 Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world
      Am
To a potty-mouth girl
                         G
A pretty pair of blue-eyed birds
Am                      G
 Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say
        Am
But I wonder to who
                          G
What it is you're saying today

G                     C
Mary Anne, do you remember
                Am
The tree by the river
                  G
When we were seventeen?
 
G                                   C
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon
                  Am
Happy just to be with you
                       G
And you were happy for me
