Chords for Brandi Carlile - Mary

[Gm] I haven't played this song, _ right? _ _
[D] _ It's one of those songs that, as a songwriter, _ _ [Ab] there's artists you love, [N] there's songs you love,
but every [Gb] once in a while, [Bb] they aren't there to sing, and a song will come along where [B] you sort of wish that you'd written it.
I wish I'd written this song every day, [Bb] and typically I [C] don't do songs [Fm] by artists that are still out there kind of doing the same songs,
and I like to do songs [N] that boys sing a lot, but _ this is one of them.
_ I mean, think about it, it's kind of interesting to sing Falsetto Prison Blues from a woman. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] I'm a creep.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
I'm a creep.
It's really [Em] dark. _ _
I don't know.
[F] _ _ [G] _ _
I _ _ prefer my double [C] key. _
_ That's [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ pretty awful, but _ I _ _ _ _ could do it with a clown mask and it wouldn't be worse.
_ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Cm] Now this song, I have a reference for [C] this song, I have a reference for [Gb] mothers in general, [N] it's Mae. _
And so I want to sing this song, and my little [C] sister's a new mother.
It's kind of the theme of my life at the moment.
[F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ But I'm going to sing this song for that reason.
_ Once [C] again, you guys, thank you [Bm] so much for coming.
This is really, [Eb] really exciting for me.

_ _ Every tear on her [C] sore dress
_ _ Even where the [F] sun _ _ sheeps
Even where the [C] night wears
_ _ You're always [G] _
there
_ _ _ [Am] She is a certain mother [F] I couldn't stand all day [C] and longer
_ _ _ These [Am] flowers wrapped by her leaves, [F] a kiss upon [C] her _ _ _ face
All [Am] the angels singing [F] in praise and all the praise [C] and all the glory
