New verse added to Mary's Song. By Nic Rigby of Norton.

MARY’S SONG (FORGOTTEN ON THE BREEZE) (by nic rigby)

VERSE 1
B7                      C
Loving you, at first was something new
       G                          D
But it wore me down, now nothing’s left
    B7                     C
You turn upside down, everything that’s true
                   G                                     D
You leave behind a withered rose with the feint smell of death

CHORUS
C        G                 B7     C
Take me away from all your stupid lies
       G                                D
Cos my eyes are aching and my throat is sore
C        G                 B7            C
Take me away from all your stupid little lies
         G                                  D      G
Cos I’ve lost faith in you, I don’t want you   any more

VERSE 2
B7                        C
You were smart, but your twisted heart
       G                          D
Left me in no doubt, who was always wrong
B7                    C
You crushed my soul, watched me fall
       G                   D
Left in pieces, my need to belong

CHORUS

VERSE 3
B7                                C
But I’ve no time, to dwell on you no more
       G                         D
I’m striking out, far, from your world
      B7                           C
Gonna sing and dance, and laugh and play
        G                                     D
They’ll say here comes the original good time girl

CHORUS

BRIDGE 1
    C             G               D            G
You won’t reel me back again, Too many lessons learned,
C                    G       B7                C       G
All my bridges I will burn…         I will not return   (instrumental?)

CHORUS

BRIDGE 2
    C                  G             D            G
And if folks bring you up one day to plot our histories
C                    G       B7                     C                    G.
I’ll say it’s just a name,         forgotten on the breeze, Forgotten on breeze.
