Belle And Sebastian — Mary Jo Chords

Mary Jo — Belle and Sebastian
—————————————————————————————

Tabbed By Caz1977

Great song, simple is best, as with most of Belle and Sebastian's songs, especially the 
ones. I've tabbed this version with alternate chords
for a different key a full step lower than the song as it's easier to play
with simpler chords if you don't want to play along with the song. They're
listed below.

Mary Jo, back with yourself

It's someone else's turn to take a fall
                    A                  F#m
And now you are the one who's strong enough to help them
    A                  F#m
The one who's strong enough to help them
    A                  F#m              E
The one who's strong enough to help them all


Bridge
——————
While Stuart is carrying on "all" and then la—la—la—ing you just carry on
with the chorus chord progression:

E,  F#m,  G#m,  A   (x2)


Middle Bit

C#m
Mary Jo, you're looking thin
       B
You're reading a book, "The State I Am In"
    A                      E
But oh, it doesn't help at all
C#m
Cos what you want is a cigarette
      B                              A
And a thespian with a caravanette in Hull


Chorus 3

Your life is never dull in your dreams
               G#m            A               E
A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it

Life is never dull in your head
                A              F#m

A sorry tale of action and the men you left for
A              F#m

E
The men you left for dead
