D            Em              A7         D
Who can know the thoughts of Mary Jane?

              Em           A7          D
Why she flies, or goes out in the rain

                 Bm
Where she's been, and who she's seen

E7                A7       D    Em  A7  D
In her journey to the stars
[Verse 1]
D            Em         A7             D
Who can know the reason for her smile?

                            Em                   A7    D
What are her dreams when they've journeyed for a mile?

                  Bm                         D
The way she sings, and her brightly-coloured rings

E        E7           A7
Make her the princess of the sky
[Interlude] D [Verse 2]
D            Em7          A7          D

                                 Em             A7          D
Did she come from a strange world and leave her mind behind?

                    Bm7                        D    E7
Her long-lost sighs, and her brightly-coloured eyes

               A7          D    Em  A7  D
Tell her story to the wind
[Chorus]
D            Em           A7           D
Who can know the thoughts of Mary Jane?

              Em       A7              D
Why she flies, or goes out in the rain

            Dmaj7 Bm              D   E7
Where she's been,  and who she's seen

               A7sus4    A7
In her journey to the stars
[Outro] D
