Mean Mary - Where Were You
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
You say I’ve aged just like cherry wineC____D_
And you wanna press your drunken lips on mineC____D_
Well, forbidden fruit tastes sweet when you are young
You don’t care about the pain until the bee has stungC_____D_
[Chorus]
Where were you when I was calling
DWhere were you when I was naïve
Where were you when I was falling
DGentle like the dogwood leaves
Where were you when I was simple
DWhere were you when I was kind
Pulling up the wildflowers for you
DWhere were you when I was blind
[Verse 2]
What happened to that girl who played with firefliesC____D_
Always looking up to you with her heart in her eyesC____D_
Well, it only takes one shot to fear a gun
And few drops of sweat can make you dread the sunC_____
Oh, dread the burning Dsun
[Chorus]
Where were you when I was calling
DWhere were you when I was naïve
Where were you when I was falling
DGentle like the dogwood leaves
Where were you when I was simple
DWhere were you when I was kind
Pulling up the wildflowers for you
DWhere were you when I was blind
[Outro]
Where were you 
DWhere were you 
Where were you 
DWhere were you
