Guitar 2, entering at the same time, played w/ slide
Verse: (chords played by wurlitzer and bass)
Margery's dreaming of the middle of the day

time ticks by her one race at a a time
Chorus: Guitar 1 plays chords, guitar 2 plays the part below:
She's tryin' to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of horses
Lookin' at a green sky
Sun like a red eye
Bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by
* (w/ fill 3)

Scared and depressed
Her visions of one day go racing the next
She's tryin' to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of horses

Trying to hit the big one one last time tonight for...
/10------ --------9-------- Fill 4, played by guitar 2
Drunken fathers and stupid mothers and
Boys who can't tell one girl from another
This measure repeated 3 times
(with Wurlitzer figure 1, 4 times)
So she takes her pills
Careful and round
* (w/ fill 3, second measure only)
One of these days she's gonna
throw the whole bottle down
But she's trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of...
Trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of horses
Wurlitzer and Guitar 1 play the intro again
Finish with another organ solo, with both guitars playing the same
