Verse 1:
Bb
Mary this station is
playing every sad song
    Gm
I remember like we were
            Bb
alive and I heard it Sunday
morning from inside of
                  Gm
these walls. In a prison
cell where we spent those
                 Bb
nights. And they burnt up
the diner where I always
used to find her. Licking
Gm
young boys blood from her
            Bb
claws And I learned about
the blues from this kitten
                     Gm
I knew. Her hair was rabid
and her heart was like a
    Eb                  F
tomb  My heart's like a wound

leaves so why
