------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the version off of Figure 8, not the version off of New Moon - just to clarify. I couldn't find a decent tab of this one online, so I decided to contribute. Enjoy.

"...Kay"

Lyrics: Almost forgot, started to say Rode into the sun, past everyone Hallelujah, pretty Mary Kay I found faith in the infirmary There's a soldier lying in bed With a wound to the head Calling out to pretty Mary Kay Here's what you get for things that haven't happened yet I happened upon pretty Mary Kay But a soldier's uniform waved you away I walk round the dock and talk to St. James Though I'm already done And ask everyone "have you seen her?" Pretty Mary Kay Have you seen her? Pretty Mary Kay ************************************ | / slide up ************************************
