American Mary Lyrics

Letters immediately after a slash (/) are a bass notes.
So the ?C2 /C /B D/A? is a C2 chord then a C bass, B bass,
then D chord with an A as the bass note. There were a lot of
slashes to keep track of; let me know if I made any mistakes.
It's hard to hear exactly what notes are in the chords,
but this sounds close.
D=XX0232 D/A=X0023X D4/B=X20032 D4/E=02003X
C2=X32033 Asus4=X02230 Em7=020030
give my jewels to the army, my silverware and jeans
give my love to your family; tell them anything.
give yourself to anyone; give yourself away
don't be a nightingale for anyone's space to fill.
if i could, i'd be your star again
fall across your falling sky...
it takes a lot of little rain to make you feel like
nothing.
anything, anything you can do, do to me for everything
i did for you: ...nothing.
i didn't try to take your love away
I just never knew i had it.
there is nothing you can say to ever make me want you
American.
there is nothing you can say to ever make me leave you
American. American
Mary
if you kiss me kiss me with your silver eyes
don't look at me like someone you don't
recognize I didn't try to do this.
your arms around my shoulderblades
are useless.
there is nothing you can say to ever make me want you
American.
there is nothing you can say to ever make me leave you
American. American
Mary
