Crazy Mary

B

She lived on a curve in the road

G

In an old tar paper shack

B                                    G

On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks

B

Sometimes on the way in to town

G                         G

We say 'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'

B                 A             G

Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side

G           A        B        G    B    G    B

Wild eye... Crazy... Mary

B                      G

Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place

B                   G

Their old blue car, we used to race

B                     A

Little country store, with a sign tagged to the side

B                            G

Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED'

B                           G

Underneath that sign allows congregated quite a crowd

B                      A          G

Take a bottle drink it down, pass it around (drink it down) Take a bottle drink it down, drink, (pass it around) pass it around (pass it around) Take a bottle drink it down, pass it, pass it a, pass it a-around

B

One night thunder cracked, Mercy backed outside her windowsil

E

Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills

B

Looked down into the house of Mary

Fm                  E

Terrible thought(?), newspaper covered walls

B

and Mary rising up above it all...

B     E     B     B     E     B     B

ah... ah...

B

Next morning on the way into town,

G

Saw some skid marks and followed them around

B                         G                        B

over the curb through the fields into the house of Mary

E?                      D? That what you fear the most will meet you half way

That what you fear the most will meet you half way

B                         A       G

Take a bottle drink it down, pass it around (drink it down) Take a bottle drink it down, pass it a, pass it around Take a bottle drink it down, pass it a, pass it a, pass it a-around

(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Otis Redding & Steve Cropper

Verse 1:

G                      B

Sittin' in the mornin' sun,

C                   B Bb A

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes.

G                       B

Watching the ships roll in,

C               B Bb A

then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah.

Chorus

G                          E

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay,

watching the tide roll away.

G                          A

Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,

G     E

wastin' time.

Verse 2: I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay. I have nothing to live for, it look like nothin's gonna come my way.

Chorus

So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away. Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time.

Bridge:

G    D       C

Look like nothing's gonna change.

G  D   C

Ev'rything still remains the same.

G D             C               G

I can't do what ten people tell me to do,

F                 D

so I guess I'll remain the same, yes.

Verse 3: I'm sittin' here restin' my bones, and this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes. Two thousand miles I roamed just to make this-a dock my home.

Chorus

Now, I'm just gon' sit at the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away. Oo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time.

I just want you to know I can see through your masks

And the song just continues in that vein for the rest of the verses:

You that never have done nothin' but build to destroy You play with my world like it's your little toy You put a gun in my hand then you hide from my eyes Then you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old you lie and deceive A world war can't be won, and you want me to believe But I see through your eyes and I see through your brain Like I see through the water that runs down my drain

You that fasten all the triggers for the others to fire Then you sit back and watch while the death count gets higher You hide in your mansions while the young people's blood Flows out of their bodies and gets buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled Fear to bring children into the world For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

How much do I know to talk out of turn You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you Even Jesus would never forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question:  is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness?  Do you think that it could? I think you will find when your death takes its toll All the money you made won't ever buy back your soul

And I hope that you die and your death will come soon I'll follow your casket through the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered into your death bed Then I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're

Rockin' in the Free World Neil Young

Intro/Verse:

For the verses you basically need: Em, D and C but the strumming pattern and fretting actually involve a G. Here's how to strum the Em measure (intro and verse alike):

Em

(1 +  2  +  3  +  4  +)

DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP

Meaning it is an Em chord for the whole measure, play only the bass note (the E string) on the first beat (indicated by the 'B' -from Bass- above), the '-' means don't strum on the strings and a '$' means play the chord indicated above (Em in this case).

The D and C measure is strummed as follows: D     N  C           N

DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP

Meaning play a D chord for the first beat then on the down stroke of the second beat hit the strings without any fretting (indicated by 'N' above), this would actually sound as a G (especially that you're most likely to hit only the D, G, B and E strings). Then directly play a C chord on the up-stroke of the second beat (in fact you'd ready your fingers for the C chord while hitting the "G chord"). The same trick is done at the last up-stroke of the 4th beat where you, again, play the open strings just before hitting the bass of the Em chord of the following measure (as indicated in the Em measure).

Chorus

As for the chorus: it is G, D, C and Em which is easy to play:

The 3 measures of G D and C are the same:

G/D/C

-

DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP

The ($) means optional. In fact you'd interleave all kinds of strumming patterns here.

The last measure (4th) of each line in the chorus goes like this:

C        Em

-

DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP

Here you'd notice that in fact you'd naturally hammer on the Em on the upstroke of the 2nd beat.

Between chorus and verses:

Basically 4 measures of A (interleaved with A7) anyways if you want to get a flavor of how it is played (read I play it ;-):

1)                       2)

A              A7        A7          A        A7

-              -         -           -        -

DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP  DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP

3)                       4)

A7          A        A7  A7    A

DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP  DN UP DN UP DN UP DN UP

The second time the bridge is played a different pattern is used but who cares (I'm tired of typing ;-).

1) BTW I have 3 versions of the song, 2 electric (from Freedom and Weld) and one acoustic, this is the acoustic version from Neil Young's "Freedom" album. 2) Note though that he plays it by tuning all the strings one WHOLE NOTE down: (E A D G B E -> D G C F A D). Except this, he seems to add a D note on the second string when playing the Em making it an Em7 (or actually, in his tuning, a C note when playing Dm) but that's a minor detail and it sounds just beautiful with the Em. 3) The acoustic version has only 2 verses while the "plugged" ;-) ones contain one additional verse. I have included it here too.
