[Intro]
D CBm CD CBm C
(x 2)
G D D7
G
[Verse 1]
D
Black Mary bless your heart
Em
Born at the end of an age
G
When the punk girls fake all their grit
A
And they love in the very same way
D
But you were their jack knife queen
Em
Ransacked and agonized
G
By the virgin boys and their rabid swing
A
They scratch at your door in the dead of night
A7
Foaming at the mouth screaming take a sight
[Chorus]
Em
Or just leave
A
But she can't turn down a nice little kiss from a fool like me
Em
She's a thief
A
She stole every white flag, wet-dream wandering eye
A7
The boys fail to keep her every time they try
[Interlude]
D CBm CD CBm C
(x 2)
G D D7
G
[Verse 2]
D
Black Mary what's it like
Em
To dive in deep with the dead
G
To curse the fools and their whiskey jive
A
To join in on what you resent
D
The church says you've gone insane
Em
The nurse says you've gotta get out
G
But you're stuck inside where you pray for rain
A
You watch at your window at a heavy cloud
A7
But nothing ever falls in your lovesick drought
[Chorus]
Em
So it seems
A
But she can't turn down a nice little kiss from a fool like him
Em
She's a thief
A
She stole every white flag, wet-dream wandering eye
A7
The boys fail to keep her every time they try
Em
(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)
A
She stole every white flag, wet-dream wandering eye
Em
(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)
A
She takes what she gets when she leaves what she finds
Em
(wandering eyes, wandering eyes)
A
She stole every white flag, wet-dream wandering eye
A7
The boys fail to keep her every time they try
[Outro]
D G D G
D G
But it's you that I hate to leave
D G
Oh you know that I'll fall apart
D Bm A G
Oh it's through you I learned to love the brightest side of the dark
