Lady killed a man today

F                  E
Someone out o' the way

Am                     F          E
Didn't know what to do or what to say

Am           F             E   Am
And she ran, oh as fast as she can

F              E
To the nearest garbage

Am                       F                 E
Where she threw his body in with a plastic bag

Am                          F   E            Am
Covered up the rancid smell and decay of her man

F   E             Am
Oh, what a tragic plan

F    E E7 E       Am
Miss Mary and her man
[Verse 2]

Mary came up on the floor, never seen such blood

When she heard a man a-thump, she grabbed that six-shooter gun

He was naked with another woman, screwin' around that day
[Verse 3]

One! (Hey!) Two! (Hey) Three! (Hey!) Four! (Hey!)

F            E
Was this for real?

Am
Five! (Hey!) Six! (Hey!) Seven! (Hey!) Eight! (Hey!)

F                  E            Am
She woke up on the floor of the jail

F                        E      Am
It was just an illusion, toxic thrill

Am
Kill a man and

Am                            F             E
Thing about Miss Mary was she took too many pills

Am            F         E      Am
Voices in her head are calling out

F   E E7  E       Am
Miss Mary and her man
[Verse 4]
Am
She woke up from a dream, seeing blood about

Her husband was innocent, she killed him anyhow

La-la la-la la-la-la, la-la la-la la

Am  Em   Am   F        E
Oh, Miss Mary shootin' about

Am     Em  Am       F            E
