David Allan Coe - Crazy Mary
Capo 1
D A D A
Chorus:
D
Crazy Mary from London Berry
C#
Lives next door to the cemetery
C
How many lovers have you buried
G
We would shout, running scared
D C# B
Along the green and golden paths
A C C# D A
That took us home, away from Crazy Mary.
D
In the lamplight burning low
C#
Dimly through enchanted woods
C
She rocks beside the fire that never was lit
G D C# B
And as we ran on by
A
Pretending to be frightened
D A
We'd shout and laugh at Crazy Mary.
D
She would never answer us
C#
Smiled through the window softly
C
Wild-eyed and wild-haired but we were sure
G D
That in the dark of night
C# B A
She cursed us soundly, casting spells
C# D
And such to turn us into donkeys.
Chorus:
D
So it seems that older now
C#
We stand upon this wind-swept moor
C
The lonely grave before us
G D C# B
Testifies that Crazy Mary sings and dreams
B
He dreams somewhere
A C C# D A
But not where little kids can follow after
D
And on the stone, these words, dear friend
C#
Please write me down as one who loved
C
The raven-haired and laughing lads
G
That swore that they would marry me
D C# C
And soon their sons came running by
C# D A
And here I lie, forgotten, Crazy Mary.
Chorus:
D A

*[Just a reminder per my DAC chords/tabs]* - Always keep in mind DAC changes his tuning(s) a lot depending upon the condition of his voice on any given day/night/album session(s)/etc. (and/or, he capo's, most often @ the 3rd fret). Most of my Coe transcr i ptions are entirely accurate (just strum and sing along & adjust tuning/capo position to suit YOUR voice. I played/performed DAC songs for many, many years & that's all I will say regarding that) - Again, depending on your voice, you may have to play around with the exact capo/fret position. My DAC chords WILL WORK in any form of standardized tuning and these are the chords that David, himself, used 80% (or more) of the time to play these particular songs (if anyone has any questions or any DAC requests, feel free to email me: m-i-k-d-a-v-r-u-t-AT-g-m-a-i-l-DOT-c-o-m Leave out all hyphens & use the proper symbols of course):
