_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Mary, [F] you're covered [Eb] in roses You're covered [Bb] in ashes
_ You're covered [F] in rain _ [Bb] You're covered in babies
[Eb] Covered in slashes [Bb] Covered in wilderness
You're [F] covered in stanch You [Bb] cast aside the sheets
You [Eb] cast aside the shroud Of [Bb] another man
Who served [F] the world [F] proud But you grieve [Bb] another's son
And you'll [Eb] lose another one on [Bb] some sunny day
And [F] always you'll stay [Bb] married
_ And [Gm] Jesus said, Mother, I [Eb] couldn't stay another day longer _ _
[Gm] Flowers rip, but it [Eb] leaves a kiss upon your [Bb] _
face
While [Gm] the angels are singing [Eb] his praises in a [Bb] blaze of glory
[C] Mary stays behind the stars, cleaning [Eb] up the place _
[Bb] Oh, Mary, she [Eb] moves behind me
She [Bb] leaves a fingerprint _ [F] everywhere
_ Every time [Bb] the snow drifts, every way [Eb] the sand shifts
Even [Bb] when the night leaves, she's [F] always there
_ [Gm] Jesus said, Mother, I couldn't stay [Bb] another day longer
_ _ [Gm] Flowers rip, but it leaves a kiss [Bb] upon your face
[Gm] While the angels are singing his praises in [Bb] a blaze of glory
[C] Mary stays behind [C] the stars, [Eb] cleaning up the place
[Bb] Oh, Mary, you're [Eb] covered in roses
You're [Bb] covered in ruins, you're [F] covered in secrets
You're [Bb] covered in treetops, covered in birds
Who can sing a million songs without [F] any words?
You [Bb] cast aside the sheep, you [Eb] cast aside the shroud
Of [Bb] another man, you [F] serve the world proud
You breathe [Bb] another song, and you [Eb] lose another one
[Bb] On some sunny day, [F] always you [F] stay
_ _ Always you stay, _ _ _ Mary, [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
