Intro:
C G Am Em F G
C G Am Em
Someone must've needed guidance
F G C G
On a very grand scale
F G C C7
Now if you stumble out of any bar on Broadway
F E Am G
She will be there looking down on you
F G C G Am Em F G
'Cuz Mary's on the mountain
C G Am Em
They made her almost 100 feet tall
F G C G
And almost half as wide
F G C C7
They gave her a robe of brilliant white
F E Am G
Now you can see that there's no doubt that
F G C G Am Em F G
Mary's on the mountain
C G Am Em
The children ask their mothers
F G C G
With more than a little fear
F G C C7
Does she like it up there in that place?
F E Am G
Is she happy? I can't see the face
F G C G
Of Mary on the mountain
C G Am Em
And the mothers tell their children
F G C G
Now, you be sure you understand
F G C C7
She's frowning when you deceive
F E Am G
And she's smiling when you believe
F G C
In Mary on the mountain
Instrumental:
C G | Am F | G | G#dim | Am F | G | C Csus4 C Csus4
C G Am Em
All through high school she was there
F G C G
Always in the back of your mind
F G C C7
If you did something you knew wasn't right
F E Am G
You made sure you did it out of the sight
F G C G
Of Mary on the mountain
C G Am Em
Ah, but we did our share of drinking
F G C G
And we had our share of fun
F G C C7
When we rolled the truck out on County 1
F E Am G
No one was there to see what we had done
F G C
But Mary on the mountain
Instrumental:
C G | Am F | G | G#dim | Am F | G | C | Csus4
C G | Am F | G | G#dim | Am F | G | C Csus4 C Csus4
C G Am Em
Last Friday night we climbed up there
F G C G
To the place where she stands
F G C C7
And jumped over the fence and found our way to
F E Am G
The forbidden door and up we climbed
F G C G
Through Mary on the mountain
C G Am Em
And sooner than we thought
F G C G
We reached the very top
F G C C7
But there was only darkness all around
F E Am G
She had no eyes -- you couldn't see the town
F G C G Am Em F G
From Mary on the mountain
C G Am Em
We tried so hard to be perfect
F G C G
We tried so hard to be kind
F G C C7
But she couldn't see nothing for all this time
F E Am G
But maybe, my friend, we're just as blind
F G C
As Mary on the mountain
