Verse 1: Bb Mary this station is playing every sad song Gm I remember like we were Bb alive and I heard it Sunday morning from inside of Gm these walls. In a prison cell where we spent those Bb nights. And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her. Licking Gm young boys blood from her Bb claws And I learned about the blues from this kitten Gm I knew. Her hair was rabid and her heart was like a EbF tomb My heart's like a wound
