Pretty Mary K by Elliott Smith Pretty Mary K (other version) by Elliott Smith Was released on "New Moon" In my opinion, it sounds much better w/ fingerpicking than just strumming. Bm A G D Pretty Mary K walks along the dock Bm A G D with some sailor's pay shoved down in her sock. D F#m C G D Pretty Mary K, with some little boy in blue D G Bm A D Who can't stay away from you. Bm A G D Pretty Mary K took him back to town. Bm A G I'm down here by the bay, D where the water pounds. D F#m C G D Up against the wall, crying black and blue D G Bm A D Keeps me away from you. (riff: -----------------| -----------------| -----------------| -----------------| -0--1--2---------| -----------------| Bm Bb D Pretty words that you whisper, (riff) Bm Bb D Maybe I misunderstood. Bm Bb D C G Somebody's not paying attention when they promised and their word Gm Isn't good. Bm A G D Oh, Mary K, I can see your face. Bm A G D Down there in the waves, painted and erased. D F#m But I know it's just C G D a reflection of the moon, D G Bm A D A big fake resembling you. (riff) (riff) Bm Bb D Bm Bb D Gonna go down in the water, fill my mouth up full of sand. (riff) Bm Bb D C G I'll be waiting still impatient with my dead imagination G Gm while you're with some other man. Bm A G D Pretty Mary K, off in somebody's room. Bm A I'm down here by the bay G D with my arm around the moon. D F#m But I'll be with you soon, C G just as soon as I've paid. D G F#m A D I walk across the water with Pretty Mary K. D G Bm A D Walk on the water with Pretty Mary K. (Thanks for this song, Elliott.) www.TAB6.com
