Intro:
A, D/A... (A few times)

A
Mara Lisa waves her hand at the car
E E7 A
With a stick and a rose-colored shawl
F A
Fighting of tears of a dull and a deafening pain
F# G
They'll repay every senseless act
A G F#
They ever borrowed from you
(G, A) B E E7
A
Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa?

Am G F#
Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades
(G, A) B E E7
A
Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa?

A
Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard
E E7 A
Up onto the porch to a sip of tea
F A
Wounded soldier with a cane and a bitter remedy
F# G
You'll repay every senseless act
A G F#
To the boys who were dead in the field
(G, A) B E E7
A
Oh you know they're were already killed, don't you, Mara Lisa?
F# G
You'll repay every trick you pulled
A G F#
On the boys that were lost out at sea
(G, A) B E E7
A
Oh they drowned in your memory, didn't they, Mara Lisa?

Am G F#
Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades
(G, A) B E E7
A
Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa?

Bm E
Were you even capable of love?
A G F#
If you were, then how do you know
Bm E
Innocence keeps tabs on the ones it can't see
Bm G D/F# E E7
It wet it's lips, and it said "Mara Lisa"

A
Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard
E E7 A
Up onto the porch to a sip of tea
F A
Wounded woman with a cane and a sad remedy
F# G
You'll repay every senseless act
A G F#
They ever borrowed from you
(G, A) B E E7
E A
Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa?
