[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Take a little dive into the [G]shallow [D]an d spy; what do you see?
You see the tortoise
and the hare in a [A]rat-race
And And it fits like a glove [G]under my
sleeve; just [A]wait till then
[Em]Their heads are the heaviest
in oper[D]ation
He's still not lost imagin[A]ation
You can hear him mouth the [G]whole
ending; just [A]wait till then

[Verse 2]
[Em]We M[D]arys had ourselves a b[A]all
Oh [G]yes, we [Em]did
We [D]Marys had ourselves a [A]ball
[G]I must ad[A]mit

[Verse 3]
[Em]Hang us [Am]those [A]limbs; hold
no [C]vir[D]tue
[Em]Those told [Am]to hold:
[A]project on [C]my [D]cue

[Verse 4]
Whether a [A]he or a [D]she,
put your mouth where your money is
And are the birds of a feather that [A]clever?
If I knew, I'd keep [Bm]flocks,
that's [G]a given; just wait t[A]ill then
[Em]Their heads cast shadows
like sky[D]scrapers
Still small enough to fit up their [A]asses
To put it all into per[G]spective
with [A]definition

[Verse 5]
[Em]We M[D]arys had ourselves a ball[A]
Oh [G]yes, we [A]did
[Em]We Marys [D]had ourselves a bal[A]l
I [G]must ad[A]mit

[Verse 6]
[Em]Hang us [Am]those [A]limbs; hold
no vir[C]tue[D]
[Em]Those told [Am]to hold:p[A]roject

[D]Oh, tak[Em]e a

[Verse 7]
gander; the [C]bigger they
[D]are, the harder they [B]fall[D]
Oh, [Em]take [C]a gander; the bigger
they are, the harder they fall
[Bm]Not need[D]y you'll see, not need[Em]y
And I [Bm]close with open [D]arms over trees
Not [Em]needy you'll see
[Bm]Not need[D]y you'll see, not need[Em]y
And I [Bm]close with open [D]arms over trees
Not [Em]needy you'll see
[B]Not nee[D]dy you'll see, not nee[Em]dy
And I [C]close with open arms over [D]trees
Not [F]needy you'll see
[Bm]Not need[C]y you'[D]ll see, not need[C]y
And I close with open arms
over [Em]trees

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Listen to proven guara[A]ntees while you're rolling up the slee[C]ves,
beatin' on the [D]chest
[Em]But we can keep it in a ja[A]r when it's
comin' cats and [C]dogs for [D]days
[Em]And we [D]Marys had ourselves a [A]ball
And I [G]guaran[A]tee that [Em]what they've done for [A]you they've [C]done for me,
they've [D]done for [Em]me

[Verse 9]
[Em]Hang us [Am]those[A]
limbs; hold no vir[C]tue[D]
[Em]Those told [Am]to ho[A]ld: project
on my [C]cue[D]
[Em]Hang us [Am]those[A]
limbs; hold no virtue
[C]Tho[D]se [Em]told to[Am]
[A]hold: project on my [C]cue[D]
