Mary Queen Of Arkansas Chords

G                             C
Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreaming
     G                                        C                       D7
The sky is grown with cloud seeds sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming
G                   C             Am       Am7
Mary my queen your soft hulk is reviving
           G               C       A7                       G
No you're not too late to desecrate  the servants are just rising
 
 
          G                          C
Well I'm just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade
              G                                  C                 D7
I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state
G                    C                   Am        Am7
Mary my queen your blows for freedom are missing
            G             C         A7                     G
You're not man enough for me to hate  or woman enough for kissing
 
 
    Em                                                                  C
The big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
        Em                                           C
And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
      Em               G               C                     Am       Am7
But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queening
      G               C        A7                       G
It's not too late to infiltrate  the servants are just leaving
 
 
G                             C
Mary queen of Arkansas your white skin is deceiving
     G                                        C               D7
You wake and wait ooh to lie in bait and you almost got me believing
    G                       C                   Am    Am7
But on your bed Mary I can see the shadow of a noose
      G                                       C   A7                     G
Oh I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose
 
 
       Em
But I know a place where we can go Mary
                                                          C
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
       G                C    A7                               G
I got contacts deep in Mexico  where the servants have been seen
