Mary Spins A Rainbow

"Mary Spins A Rainbow" -- Material Issue

Written by: Jim Ellison

Transcribed by: Mike Novak

This is an old song (circa 1987?) which doesn't appear on any of

their major label albums, but it's on an independent release (on

groovy blue vinyl!) from before they were signed. I'm guessing

at some of the lyrics, but they're pretty close.

(clean)

e-----O--------O-------O--------O---

b---O--------O-------O--------O-----

g-2-----1-(1)----1-2-----1-(1)----1- etc.

d-----------------------------------

a-----------------------------------

e-----------------------------------

(tie) (tie)

Play that a few times, and then the strum throughout on Esus/E:

e---O---------O-----

b---O--O---O--O--O--

g---2--1---1--2--1-- etc.

d---2--2---2--2--2--

a---2--2---2--2--2--

e-------------------

 

Oooooooooooooooooooh

She says, looks kinda crazy but I look at you baby and

I don't know

I said, my heart's a magazine I don't want anybody to read

hey baby let it go, let it show, Oh ooooh...

(Distortion)

Bi Di

Bit I saw her, I saw her yesterday

Bi Di

Let me tell you man, I'll tell you what she said

Bi Di Esus/E(clean)

She says she loves me but she says that to everybody anyway

hey hey

Well it's one two three and four, Everywhere that Mary goes,

She spins a rainbow, I know

It's one two three and go, everywhere that Mary goes,

She spins a rainbow, I know, I know, I know

I said, I'm awful tired of talkin let's go out and start a walkin

baby let it show

She said, your head's a tambourine I don't want anybody to see

hey baby let it go, oh oh, OH ho...

End on a variation of the intro.

All chords are first position except:

Bi 799XXX Di X57775

I'll try to post more Material Issue tunes in the future, I hope

you like this one!
