A
Mara Lisa waves her hand at the car

E                   E7             A
With a stick and a rose-colored shawl

F                                            A
Fighting of tears of a dull and a deafening pain

F#                        G
They'll repay every senseless act

A             G          F#
They ever borrowed from you
(G, A) B E E7
     A
Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa?

Am                              G              F#
Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades
(G, A) B E E7
       A
Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa?

A
Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard

  E             E7            A
Up onto the porch to a sip of tea

  F                                       A
Wounded soldier with a cane and a bitter remedy

  F#                            G
You'll repay every senseless act

         A             G           F#
To the boys who were dead in the field
(G, A) B E E7
       A
Oh you know they're were already killed, don't you, Mara Lisa?

  F#                            G
You'll repay every trick you pulled

         A             G           F#
On the boys that were lost out at sea
(G, A) B E E7
       A
Oh they drowned in your memory, didn't they, Mara Lisa?

Am                         G                  F#
Through the curtains, sees the town and the parades
(G, A) B E E7
       A
Oh, you know how innocence fades, don't you, Mara Lisa?

Bm                          E
Were you even capable of love?

         A          G         F#
If you were, then how do you know

Bm                          E
Innocence keeps tabs on the ones it can't see

Bm                       G      D/F#    E  E7
It wet it's lips, and it said "Mara Lisa"

A
Marching softly through the weeds in her front yard

Up onto the porch to a sip of tea

Oh, just wait and you will see, won't you, Mara Lisa?
