This is from the Daytrotter Session, picking is quite easy to work out.
G                          C7
Mary Anne, do you remember

                Am
the tree by the river

                   G
when we were seventeen?

G                                  C7 
Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer

                      Am 
and the mare in the pasture

                            G
pitch black and baring its teeth.

G                        C7
I recall the sun in our faces,

                     Am
stuck and leaning on braces,

                       G
and being strangers to change.

G                            C7
Radio and the bones we found frozen,

                           Am
and all the thorns and the roses

                    G
beneath your window pane.

Am                  G
Now Im asleep in a car, I mean the world

     Am  
to a potty-mouth girl,

                           G         
a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds.

Am                 G    
Time isnt kind or unkind, you liked to say.

      Am
But I wonder to who

                         G
what it is youre saying today.

Am                  G

     Am               
to a potty-mouth girl,

                           G

G                                  C7
Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon;

                 Am
happy just to be with you,

                       G
and you were happy for me.
