Marjorie

Worth the $25 to get a bootleg of it ;-) Marjorie (Margery) - Counting Crows Unreleased Demo transcribed by Steve Vetter {[email protected]} Intro riff: -0--0----0--0-------- -0----0--0----0------ -1-------1----------- -2-------2----------- -2-------2----------- -0-------0----------- In the still water she lies down Shaking in the press of sunlight We rolled into Lexington She shakes off the drop of daylight Water beading up her chest Bleeding down between her knees Rivers in Kentucky flow Between the bluegrass wavy seas But oh, Marjorie Twists the knife once more inside of me Breathless with anticipation Baited breathers set their hooks Tuck their heads beneath the high grass And lie and wait beside the brooks {the first two lines run together with the first two words said real rapidly} For instance? pushing slowly through Frustration leading back along The alleys of a childhood Will not release us willingly But oh, Marjorie Sticks the knife in while I heard the sea {solo} B? {repeat} Dust me off and shut me down And dream of where I haven't been Close the door inside my heart Stuck in the south Atlantic wind I have hollow eyes Haunting only to myself Even so, I can't stop calling This great big hollows in my self I took the train form California To the far side of the continent Woke up in Kentucky Where a wedding was about to end I looked up at Anna She turned back to look at me It's best to kill the ones that matter Render blind the ones who see But oh, Marjorie Takes the blade and walks away from me Oh, Marjorie Love like blood is pouring out of me Oh, Marjorie My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby {solo over and B?} Oh, I can't shut it in It's got far too many doors to block the wind Oh, I can't shut it in It's got far too many doors to block the wind
