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 Bb D
Pretty words that you whisper, (riff)
Bm Bb D
Maybe I misunderstood.
Bm Bb 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 Bb D Bm Bb
D
Gonna go down in the water, fill my mouth up full of sand.
(riff)
Bm Bb 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.)
