_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ Mary, _ _ you're covered [Eb] in roses, _ _ _ you're [Bb] covered in ashes, _ _ _ you're covered in [F] rain, _ _ [Bb] you're covered
in babies, _ _ you're covered [Eb] in flashes, _ _ _ [Bb] you're covered in wilderness, _ _ you're covered [F] in flames. _ _
You [Bb] cast aside the sheets, you cast [Eb] aside the shroud [Bb] _ of another man _ who serves [F] the world
with a new breath, _ _ a new [Bb] greet, another song, _ you [Eb] lose another one _ _ [Bb] on the song you sang
that you wrote, you [F] always used to _ _ [Bb] say. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] Jesus said, mother, [Eb] I couldn't stay [Bb] another day alone, _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ flies right by your knees [Eb] to kiss [Bb] upon your _ _ face _
[Gm] while the angels are singing his [Eb] praises in a [Bb] blaze of _ glory, _ _ Mary stays behind the stars, leading up the [Eb] way.
_ _ _ [Bb] Oh _ Mary, _ _ she [Eb] moves behind me, _ [Bb] she leads the faint _ _ prayers, _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ every [Bb] time the snow _ drips,
everywhere [Eb] you send her, _ she's here when [Bb] the night is, _ she's always [F] _ _ _ there.

Jesus said, mother, I [Eb] couldn't stay another [Bb] day alone, _ _ _ flies [Gm] _ right [Bb] [Eb] by your knees to kiss upon [Bb] your _ face _ _ _
[Gm] while the angels are singing [Eb] his praises in a [Bb] blaze of glory, _ _ _ Mary [C] stays behind the stars, leading [Bb] up [Eb] the way. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Oh Mary, _ _ you're covered in [Eb] roses, _ _ you're covered [Bb] in _ _ romance, you're covered [F] in secrets,
_ _ [Bb] you're covered in tree _ tops, _ you're covered [Eb] in _ _ birds, you can [Bb] sing a million _ songs,
a thousand _
[F] _ _ words, _ you [Bb] can't decide the sheets, you [Eb] can't decide the shroud of _
[Bb] another man.
_ Serve the [F] world right, _ _ you'll be [Bb] another star, _ you'll [Eb] lose another one,
_ _ on [Bb] some sunny day, _ _ _
[F] _ always you'll stay, _ _ _ _ _ always you'll _ stay. _ _ _ _ _ _
