E5 
In the still water she lies down 
D5 
Shaking in the press of sunlight 
A5 
We rolled into Lexington 
E5 
She shakes off the drop of daylight 
 

E5 
Water beading up her chest 
D5 
Bleeding down between her knees 
A5 
Rivers in Kentucky flow 
E5 
Between the bluegrass wavy seas 
 

D5       E5 
But oh, Marjorie 
D5                A5                   E5 
Twists the knife once more inside of me 
 
Breathless with anticipation 

Baited breathers set their hooks 

Tuck their heads beneath the high grass 

And lie and wait beside the brooks 
 
{the first two lines run together with the first two words said real rapidly} 

For instance? pushing slowly through  

Frustration leading back along 

The alleys of a childhood 

Will not release us willingly 
 
But oh, Marjorie 

Sticks the knife in while I heard the sea 
 
{solo} 
F#5  B?  {repeat} 
 
 
Dust me off and shut me down 

And dream of where I haven't been 

Close the door inside my heart 

Stuck in the south Atlantic wind 
 
I have hollow eyes 

Haunting only to myself 

Even so, I can't stop calling  

This great big hollows in my self 
 
I took the train form California 

To the far side of the continent 

Woke up in Kentucky 

Where a wedding was about to end 
 
I looked up at Anna 

She turned back to look at me 

It's best to kill the ones that matter 

Render blind the ones who see 
 
But oh, Marjorie 

Takes the blade and walks away from me 

Oh, Marjorie 

Love like blood is pouring out of me 

Oh, Marjorie 

My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby 
 

{solo over F#5 and B?} 
 
Oh, I can't shut it in 
It's got far too many doors to block the wind 
Oh, I can't shut it in 
It's got far too many doors to block the wind
