     Bm
     She lived on a curve in the road
     G
     In an old tar paper shack
     Bm                                   G
     On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks
     D                  A
       Sometimes on the way in to town
     G
     We say 'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
     Bm                A             G
     Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
     G           A        Bm      G    Bm    G
     Wild eye... Crazy... Mary
 
 
     Bm                     G
     Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
     Bm                  G
     Their old blue car, we used to race
     D          A                     G
       Little country store, with a sign tagged to the side
              Bm                   G
     Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED'
     Bm                                G
     Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
 
 
     Bm                     A     G             A
     Take a bottle drink it down, pass it around (drink it down)
     Take a bottle drink it down, drink,
                    (pass it around) pass it around (pass it around)
     Take a bottle drink it down, pass it, pass it a, pass it a-around
 
 
     B
     One night thunder cracked, Mercy backed outside her windowsill
     E
     Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
     B
     Looked down into the house of Mary
     F#add11             E
     Terrible thought(?), newspaper covered walls
     B
     and Mary rising up above it all...
 
     B     E     B     E     B     B     A     G#m     G     F#
     Ah... ah...
 
 
     Bm
     Next morning on the way into town,
     G
     Saw some skid marks and followed them around
     Bm                         G                         Bm
     Over the curb, through the fields, into the house of Mary
 
                   A                           G
     That what you fear the most could meet you halfway
                   A                           G
     That what you fear the most could meet you halfway
 
 
     Bm                     A     G             A
     Take a bottle drink it down, pass it around (drink it down)
     Take a bottle drink it down, pass it a, pass it around
     Take a bottle drink it down, pass it a, pass it a, pass it a-around
 
 
     Bm    G
     (repeat)

I like it, a few points though, the B sounds a lot better if its played as a minor and some of the chords near the end are wrong, and just repeat the Bm G at the end, ending on the Bm

Except on the "ahh ahh" break, just play a normal B
