Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
They came in under the radar
When our backs were turned around
In a fleet of Lincoln Town Cars
They rolled in to our town
Confounded all six senses
Like an opiate in the brain
Mary shut the garden door
-5
Looks a lot like rain
Gm13/ Gm13 Gm13/ Gm13 / / -5
Mary shut the garden door
Mary shut the garden door
We pounded Rachels radio
For reports about the bridge
There was nothing on but static
Nothing in the fridge
We lay there listening to the wind
Whistling through the pines
When we heard the engines idling
/ -5
Saw the headlights through the blinds
Mary shut the garden door
Mary shut the garden door
Rough dreams
Those voices in the kitchen
I woke up
And sensed the new condition
They won
Storms raged
Things changed
-5
Forever
Mary. . . door
So if you ever see an automaton
In a mid price luxury car
Better roll the sidewalks up
Switch on your lucky star
Cause this zombie does impressions
But not really to amuse
This ballad is for lovers
/ -5
With something left to lose
Mary. . . door
Mary. . . door
|Gm13/ Gm13 Gm13/ Gm13 |/ |/ -5|
