Pretty Mary K

pretty mary k ( other version ) by elliott smith was released on "new moon" in my opinion , it sounds much better w/ fingerpicking than just strumming . Bm A G D pretty mary k walks along the dock Bm A G D with some sailor’s pay shoved down in her sock . D F#m C G D pretty mary k , with some little boy in blue D G Bm A D who can’t stay away from you . Bm A G D pretty mary k took him back to town . Bm A G i’m down here by the bay , D where the water pounds . D F#m C G D up against the wall , crying black and blue D G Bm A D keeps me away from you .

Bm A# D C G somebody’s not paying attention when they promised and their word Gm isn’t good . Bm A G D oh , mary k , i can see your face . Bm A G D down there in the waves , painted and erased . D F#m but i know it’s just C G D a reflection of the moon , D G Bm A D a big fake resembling you . ( riff ) ( riff ) Bm A# D Bm A# D gonna go down in the water , fill my mouth up full of sand . ( riff ) Bm A# D C G i’ll be waiting still impatient with my dead imagination G Gm while you’re with some other man . Bm A G D pretty mary k , off in somebody’s room . Bm A i’m down here by the bay G D with my arm around the moon . D F#m but i’ll be with you soon , C G just as soon as i’ve paid . D G F#m A D i walk across the water with pretty mary k . D G Bm A D walk on the water with pretty mary k . ( thanks for this song , elliott . )
