|Gm13/D Gm13    |Gm13/D Gm13    |Bm9/F# Bm9   |Bm9/F# Bm9      |


          Gm13/D  Gm13             
They came in under the radar 

         Gm13/D     Gm13             
When our backs were turned around 

     Bm9/F#   Bm9
In a fleet of Lincoln Town Cars 

     Bm9/F#    Bm9
They rolled in to our town 

   Gm13/D  Gm13
Confounded all six senses 

        Gm13/D Gm13
Like an opiate in the brain
 
Bm9/F#        Bm9
         Mary shut the garden door

        Bm9      Abm7-5
Looks a lot like rain 

Gm13/D Gm13 Gm13/D Gm13               Bm9/F# Bm9 Bm9/F# Bm9  Abm7-5
                  Mary shut the garden door 

Gm13/D Gm13 Gm13/D Gm13               Bm9/F# Bm9 Bm9/F# Bm9
                  Mary shut the garden door 


   Gm13/D  Gm13  
We pounded Rachel’s’ radio 

    Gm13/D  Gm13  
For reports about the bridge 

          Bm9/F#  Bm9
There was nothing on but static 

Bm9/F#  Bm9
Nothing in the fridge 

  Gm13/D  Gm13  
We lay    there listening to the wind 



Gm13/D    Gm13  
Whistling through the pines

        Bm9/F#    Bm9 
When we heard the engines idling 

        Bm9/F#     Bm9         Abm7-5
Saw the headlights through the blinds 

Gm13/D Gm13 Gm13/D Gm13               Bm9/F# Bm9 Bm9/F# Bm9
                  Mary shut the garden door
 
Gm13/D Gm13 Gm13/D Gm13               Bm9/F# Bm9 Bm9/F# Bm9
                  Mary shut the garden door 

Cmaj9
Rough dreams 

      F#7+9         Bmaj9
Those voices in the kitchen 

Bm7/E   Amaj7
I       woke up 

    Eb7+9          Abmaj7
And sensed the new condition 

C#m7
They won 

Abm9
Storms raged 

E6
Things changed
 
   A       Abm7-5
Forever

                        Mary. . . door 

|Gm13/D Gm13    |Gm13/D Gm13    |Bm9          |                |

|Gm13/D Gm13    |Gm13/D Gm13    |Dmaj13 Dmaj7 |                |             



          Gm13/D Gm13                   
So if you ever   see an automaton 


     Gm13/D Gm13 
In a mid    price luxury car

 Bm9/F#            Bm9
            Better roll the sidewalks up 

       Bm9/F#  Bm9
Switch on your lucky star 

           Gm13/D Gm13 
Cause this zombie does impressions
 
        Gm13/D Gm13  
But not really to amuse

     Bm9/F# Bm9
This ballad is for lovers


     Bm9/F#    Bm9           Abm7-5
With something left to lose

|Gm13/D Gm13    |Gm13/D Gm13    |Bm9/F# Bm9     |Bm9/F# Bm9           |
                        Mary. . . door 

|Gm13/D Gm13    |Gm13/D Gm13    |Bm9/F# Bm9     |Bm9/F# Bm9           |
