Verse
B
Burn up with the water
B
The floods are on the plains
B
The planets in a rose
B
Who knows what they contain?
B
And my brain is like an orchestra
B
Playing on, insane
B
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
B
[Verse 2]
B
Mom and Dad and violins
Fb B
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
F#
The clothes pins on the floor
B
And my heart is playing hide and seek
Fb B
Wait and count to four
F# Fb B
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
[Chorus]
Fb
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
B
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
F#
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
B
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
Fb
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
B
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
Fb
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
B
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
F#
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
B
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
Fb
The marching band
When April ran
B
May June bugs fly and
F#
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Fb B
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book
[Verse 3]
B
We overcome the sirens
Fb B
We look both left and right
F#
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
B
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
Fb B
But now you're out of sight
F# Fb B
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
[Chorus]

What did you tell me Mary
