Dm C Dm C
Margery's dreaming of the middle of the day
Dm C Bb C
Tiyuri to win, perfect dozen to place
Dm C Dm C
Money is the matter that's been on her mind
Dm C Bb C
Time ticks by her one race at a time
Bb C
She's trying' to be a good girl
F Dm
And give 'em what they want
Bb C Bb
But Margery's dreaming of horses
Dm C Dm C
Looking' at a green sky, sun like a red eye
Dm C Bb C
Bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by
Dm C Dm C
She's tired and lonely, scared and depressed
Dm C Bb C
Her visions of one day go racing the next
Bb C
She's trying to be a good girl
F Dm
And give 'em what they want
Bb C Bb
But Margery's dreaming of horses
Am Bb Am Gm Am
Margie doesn't say anything all the way home
Am Gm Am Bb C
So afraid she'll awake to find she's all alone
Gm Am Bb C
Ohhhhhhhhhh (x3)

Dm C (x6)
Dm C Dm C
Margery's wingspan's all feathers and coke cans, and
Dm C Bb C
TV dinners and letters she won't send, and
Dm C Dm C
Every race night is shot through with sunlight
Dm C Bb C
Trying to hit the big one one last time tonight for
Bb C Bb C
Drunken fathers and stupid mothers and
Bb C Gm Am
Boys who can't tell one girl from another
Dm C Dm C
So she takes her pills, careful and round
Dm C Bb C
One of these days she's gonna throw the whole bottle down
Bb C
She's trying to be a good girl
F Dm
And give 'em what they want
Bb C
But Margery's dreaming of
Bb C
Trying to be a good girl
F Dm
And give 'em what they want
Bb C Bb
But Margery's dreaming of horses
Dm C Dm C
Ba da ba dada ba da dada da
Dm C Bb C
Ba da ba dada ba da da da da da (x2)
Gm Am Bb C (x3)
3rd time, end on Bb
