Too young and too white to be sitting down when I play but I [D] went home
Got my dad on the farm this week, and I'd like [N] to tell you that I hurt my back like digging post holes
But I dug post holes.
I didn't hurt my back and I like to tell you I hurt my back
Changing the oil in the tractor bending down there, but I did that I didn't hurt my back
Went out with my friends afterwards and passed out in the chair, and that's how I hurt my back
Sorry mom.
They can't hear them up there
[D]
At least they just got dialed up and swope they won't be able to get the radio show
But [E] this is a song about the long proud tradition of skinny nervous people that I come from
[A]
Well, Mary, Oh Mary how many [D] times I call
[E] No, I don't want anything, [D] but to know you there.
[A] That's all
You're an angel sent by accident to ease my worried [D] mind
And I don't [F#m] show you half enough, [B] but I love you all [A] the time
[E] Well, Mary, Oh [A] Mary
Where does the [D] time go?
[B] First I hated [F#m] being young [D] now.
I'm scared of [A] being old
That's when I stopped wearing a watch so I don't hear time pass.
I did it half [F#] an hour ago
So let's see how [A] long I last

[A]
Well, Mary, Oh Mary.
No, I'm playing fairly [B] bad
Problems [A] rolling through my head like a broken phonograph
Won't you pack my things give a doc a ring have him make me a [F#] bed
Let the man come around who ties me down and hooks wires to my head
[B] I was born one rainy morn, but not much [A] changed for me
[E] Just a bigger bed and a feeling [F#m] that I'd gotten [E] in too deep
And I'm in way too deep [A] now Mary.
Oh Mary
Keep my picture home.
[E] I played death for cigarettes and got the cancer [A] in my lungs
Tell everyone of my grandsons exactly what I [E] did
Spent my whole [F#m] life waiting for this [B] time that I hardly [A] live
I spent my whole life waiting [F#] for this time that I [A] hardly live
Well, Mary, Oh Mary
many times I call
[E]
[G] It's true you got good [C] taste you gotta stand
Got my dad on the farm this week, and I'd like [N] to tell you that I hurt my back like digging post holes
But I dug post holes.
