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 (x24432@1)     A (x02220@1) G (320003@1)             DPretty (xx0232@1)Mary K walks along the dock

  Bm (x24432@1)             A (x02220@1)  G (320003@1)                Dwith (xx0232@1)some sailor's pay shoved down in her sock.

  D (xx0232@1)     F#m (244222@1)  C (x32010@1)                   G (320003@1)   DPretty (xx0232@1)Mary K, with some little boy in blue

 D (xx0232@1)       G (320003@1) Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1)   DWho (xx0232@1)can't stay away from you.

 Bm (x24432@1)                 A (x02220@1)    GI'm (320003@1)down here by the bay,

                 Dwhere (xx0232@1)the water pounds.

D (xx0232@1)             F#m (244222@1) C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1) DUp (xx0232@1)against the wall, crying black and blue

 D (xx0232@1)  G (320003@1)Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1)   DKeeps (xx0232@1)me away from you.

  G (320003@1)                         Gmwhile (355333@1)you're with some other man.
