_ [A] Mary, you're [Bm] covered in roses [D]
You're [A] covered in ashes
You're [E] covered in rain _ [C#m] You're [A] covered in babies
[D] Covered in slashes Covered [A] in wilderness
Covered in [E] stains You [A] cast aside the sheets
You [D] cast aside the shroud of [A] another man You serve the world [E] proud
You [A] greet another sun You [D] lose another one
[A] On some sunny day [E] And always you [A] stay, _ Mary
_ _ [F#m] Jesus said, [D] Mother, I couldn't stay [A] another day longer
He [F#m] flies right by and [D] leaves a kiss [A] upon her _ face

Mary stays [B] behind and starts cleaning up [D] the place
_ _ [A] Oh, Mary, she [D] moves behind me She [A] leaves her fingerprints _ [E] everywhere
_ Every [A] time the snow drifts Every [D] way the sand shifts
Even [A] when the night leaves She's [E] always there

You're covered [E] in secrets [A] You're covered in treetops
