Mary Patty Griffin Capo 1st fret
Pretty song...Patty had me in tears when she performed it on ACL in 2000
Thank you Patty...Frank Metier
(A)Mary you're covered in (D)roses, you're covered in (A)ashes
You're covered in(E)rain
You're covered in (A)babies, you're covered in (D)slashes
You're covered in (A)wilderness, you're covered in (E)stains
You cast a-(A)side the sheet, you cast a-(D)side the shroud
Of an-(A)other man, who served the world (E)proud
You greet a-(A)nother son, you lose an-(D)other one
On some (A)sunny day and always (E)stay, Mary
(D)Jesus says mother I (E)couldn't stay another day (A)longer
(D)Flys right by me and (E)leaves a kiss upon her (A)face
While the (D)angels are singin' his (E)praises in a blaze of (A)glory
Mary stays be-(f#7)hind and starts (B)cleaning up the (D)place (E)
(A)Mary she moves be-(D)hind me
She leaves her (A)fingerprints every-(E)where
Everytime the (A)snow drifts, everytime the (D)sand shifts
Even when the (A)night lifts, she's always (E))there
(D)Jesus says mother I (E)couldn't stay another day (A)longer
(D)Flys right by me and (E)leaves a kiss upon her (A)face
While the (D)angels are singin' his (E)praises in a blaze of (A)glory
Mary stays be-(f#7)hind and starts (B)cleaning up the (D)place (E)
(A)Mary you're covered in (D)roses, you're covered in (A)ruin
You're covered in (E)secrets
Your'e covered in (A)treetops, you're covered in (D)birds
Who can sing a million (A)songs without any (E)words
You cast aside the (A)sheets, you cast aside the (D)shroud
Of an-(A)other man, who served the world (E)proud
You greet another (A)son, you lose another (D)one
On some sunny (A)day and always you(E)stay
Mary, Mary, Mary

great job on the chords. the only error I saw in the song was at the end of the first verse it goes back to (A) when patty says Mary again. It is like that with the other ones that end with her saying Mary as well but other than that it is perfect. you did great! I do agree it is hard to get to the end of the song because of the tears in your eyes. Beautiful song i am glad to see it on here. Than you for sharing it with us:)
Thank you for this, its a lovely song and this was a great set of chords. A couple things, "on some sunny day and always YOU stay" and on "flies right by leaves a kiss upon her face" the E seems like it should be on the (E)kiss, easier to get at the chord that way too for me. I also did a B7 on "Mary stays (B7) behind and starts cleaning up the (D)place"--not that the other is wrong, this just seemed to work better for me. Just thought I'd put those up but again, great chords and thank you so much!
