Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreaming
G C D7
The sky is grown with cloud seeds sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming
G C Am Am7
Mary my queen your soft hulk is reviving
G C A7 G
No you're not too late to desecrate the servants are just rising
G C
Well I'm just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade
G C D7
I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state
G C Am Am7
Mary my queen your blows for freedom are missing
G C A7 G
You're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing
Em C
The big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
Em C
And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
Em G C Am Am7
But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queening
G C A7 G
It's not too late to infiltrate the servants are just leaving
G C
Mary queen of Arkansas your white skin is deceiving
G C D7
You wake and wait ooh to lie in bait and you almost got me believing
G C Am Am7
But on your bed Mary I can see the shadow of a noose
G C A7 G
Oh I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose
Em
But I know a place where we can go Mary
C
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
G C A7 G
I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen
