[Verse 1]
[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
 
[Chorus]
[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]
 
[Verse 2]
[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
 
[Chorus]
[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]
 
[Verse 3]
[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
