Mary Queen Of Arkansas - Bruce Springsteen



D                             G      Bm         D      Dsus

Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreamin'

     D       Dsus       D         Dsus       G         Bm          F#m

The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming

G                          A          D    Dsus D Dsus

Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving

            G                     A7                         Dsus

No, you're not too late to desecrate, the servants are just rising



                               G         Bm         D    Dsus

Well I'm just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade

            D                                  G         Bm      F#m

I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state

G                    A                      D    Dsus D Dsus

Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing

                G                        A7                    D

Woah you're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing





Bridge:

     F#m                          G                   Em7                D     Dsus D

The big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border

         F#m                            G      Em7    F#m     

And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order

     G                                 A                   Dsus  D  Dsus  D

But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queenin'

      G                        A7                       Dsus  D

It's not too late to infiltrate, the servants are just leavin'





                             G          Bm   D  Dsus

Mary queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceiving

    D        Dsus            D      Dsus     G          Bm   F#m

You wake and wait ooh to lie in bait and you almost got me believing

    G                      A                    D    Dsus D Dsus

But on your bed Mary I can see the shadow of a noose

                                     G              A7                   D

Woah I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose

      G

But I know a place where we can go, Mary

            A7                                          D    Dsus

Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean

           G                      A7                            D

Woah I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen







   D    Dsus Bm   G    F#m  Em7  A7

Cider Queen Of Marbach



Cider Queen of Marbach, it's not too early for drinking

The pub is grown with smoke and a Ciders love can be redeeming

Cider my queen, your soft taste is reviving

No, you're not too hot for drinking, the servants are just rising



Well  I´m just a lonely drunkard, the pub scene is my thing

I´ve been a wino but the acid stings and whiskey made me sing

Cider, my queen, your taste of freedom I´ve been missing

You´ve got alc enough for me to like and volume enough for pissing



The big mug is for dreamers, we can take the Heroes all the way to the border

And the washrooms wait for martyrs whose stomachs are in disorder

But I was not born to sit and watch and you were not born for queenin'

It's not too late to infiltrate, the servants are just leavin'



Cider Queen of Marbach, your pale skin is deceivin´

You sit and wait to drink the pint and you almost got me believin´

But under your eyes I see shadows all over

I don´t understand how you can drink so much and stay so damn sober



But I know a place where we can go Andrea

Where we can get a good drink and start it all over again

I know a pub in Alsergrund where some Cider has been seen
