G C D/F#
Sometimes I drive out to Topanga
G C D/F#
And I park my car in the sand
G C D/F#
Watching and waiting for a pickup
D/F#
From my man
G C D/F#
And maybe down to Farmer's Market
G C D/F#
Those people, they're working in the sun
G C D/F#
Buy and sell it for a profit
Em Em D C D7 G
To anyone
G C D/F#
Oh Mary, I'm in the deep waters
Bm C D7
And it's way, way over my head
C G
Everyone thought I was smarter
Am C D7
Than to be this dead
G C D/F#
You've heard of trainwrecks in the mountains
G C D/F#
Sometimes there's shipwrecks on the sea
G C D/F#
Mary, you must always be careful
Em Em D C D7 G
Can't you see?
G C D/F#
Oh Mary, I'm in the deep waters
Bm C D7
And it's way, way over my head
C G
Everyone thought I was smarter
Am C D7
Than to be this dead
G C D/F#
Someone's sick in San Francisco
G C D/F#
Some are down in New Orleans
G C D/F#
Others are kept in Camarillo
Em Em D C D7 G
Picking beans
G C D/F#
Oh Mary, I'm in the deep waters
Bm C D7
And it's way, way over my head
C G
Everyone thought I was smarter
Am C D7
Than to be this dead
