    I was just wondering if anybody could help me in figuring out the chords for a song called An Idea About Mary

    I'd really appreciate this if anybody could suggest some chords. Thanks

    From this video I can't figure them out but if I capo the second fret and play F#, C#, A, E (all capo related) it sounds similar...obviously I'd like to be able to play it like she does

    Hey! I was looking for chords as well, but didn't find any. From watching that video, this is what I came up with:


    Wallis Bird - An idea about Mary

    Note: This version is massively simplified and probably wrong in some places. Just mail me with corrections if you find any errors.




    Capo 4th fret

    Mystery chord (marked as ?)= 200230


    Intro:

    Em Bm G ? G G/A


    VERSE:
    Em Bm
    A sailor a sailor did drown my heart
    G D G D
    because of your thunderous wave goodbye
    Em
    and I never saw you sleeping
    Bm
    in your matching shoes
    G D G D
    So a part of me still thinks you're alive



    BRIDGE:
    A
    and if my mam is feeling better
    Bm
    we'll take some sandwiches for the road
    G D
    and we'll drive into the lights on the way home
    A
    and my dad talks about the weather
    Bm
    says 'the arse is falling out of the sky'
    G A
    the day that mary died Oooh



    CHORUS:
    D G A D
    Oh lover! I've got plenty
    G A Bm
    so why do I feel like
    G A
    I've got nothing
    D G A D G A Bm
    oh lover! i'm so empty - who am I now?
    G A Bm
    tell me who i'm going to be
    G A Em
    or just give me back me

    Em Bm G ? G G/A


    VERSE:
    Em Bm
    My saviour is braver than I can be
    G D G D
    taking all the weapons out of my mind
    Em Bm
    and I sing for my supper but I sing for me
    G D G D
    so a part of me is aching to survive


    BRIDGE

    CHORUS X2
