Capo: 2 fret
[Intro]
G C Cadd2 C
[Verse 1]
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
He was a quiet boy in seventh grade,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
She had a little red streak in her twisted braids,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
He was curious and asked: “what’s your name?”
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Her green eyes answered “Mary Jane”.
[Verse 2]
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
They met up Friday after school,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
He lit her up she made him feel cool,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
He could hurt all night and not feel pain,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Just looking at the stars with Mary Jane.
[Chorus]
C
She got him to grow up fast,
C
That innocence you don’t get back,
G
The way you saw the world started to change,
C
It felt so good when she was around,
C
But every up took him further down,
G D Dsus2 D
And he ain’t never really been the same,
C
Since Mary Jane.
[Interlude]
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
[Verse 3]
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
He met her, he’d be friends one day,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Wearing tie singing Touchg of Grey,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
They took trips real far away,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
And we’re wilder than Mary Jane.
[Verse 4]
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
There was a girl on the road with a tempting face,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
She rode a white horse and they found a place,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Where she put a craving in his veins,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Now he don’t even talk to Mary Jane.
[Chorus]
C
She got him to grow up fast,
C
That in a sense you don’t get back,
G
The way you saw the world started to change,
C
It felt so good when she was around,
C
But every up took him further down,
G D Dsus2 D
And he ain’t never really been the same,
C
Yeah, since Mary Jane he went,
Em
From High School to State Rehab,
G
Seventeen to thirty-five,
D Dsus2 D
Life of the party to barely alive.
[Verse 5]
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Now he’s in the church of Redeeming Grace,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Some people cry, some people pray,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
There’s folding chairs and coffee mates,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
And chips to fill their day-by-day.
[Outro]
Em D/F# G D Dsus2 D
That they quit their marriage,
D*
Yeah, they all guit their Mary Jane,
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
Em D/F# G C Cadd2 C
He was a quiet boy in seventh grade,
Em D/F# G
She had a little red streak in her twisted braids,
C Em
