Calling On Mary (CHORDS) by Aimee Mann

[INTRO]~
Em C Em C Am


[VERSE 1]~
G           C              Am
I heard the sidewalk Santa say

     Em               C         G  D  Am
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas

G           C              Am
Salvation's coming cheap today

     Em               C         G  D  Am
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas

G              C             Am
I searched the skyline for a star

     Em               C         G  D  Am
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas

    G       C                  Am
And,.. baby,.. I wondered where you are

     Em               C         G  D C
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas

                    Am            C
'Cause comfort's not possible when

                 Am
You look past the joy to the end


[CHORUS]~
G          C    Em      Am
Calling on Mary is voluntary

G              C         Em  D
Unless you're alone like me

            Em    C                G          D
If there's a star above,.. then it can look like love

         Em           C         G    Am
When they light up the Christmas tree


[VERSE 2]~
G          C                 Am
When I was young,.. I couldn't see

     Em               C         G  D  Am
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas

G           C                 Am
All that my true love gave to me

     Em               C         G  D  C
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas

           Am                 C
She offered sight to the blind

               Am
But I'm not the miracle kind


[CHORUS]~
G          C    Em      Am
Calling on Mary is voluntary

G              C         Em  D
Unless you're alone like me

            Em    C                G          D
If there's a star above,.. then it can look like love

Em                     C         G
When they light up the Christmas tree


[BRIDGE]~
F              C                 G
And to all the lost souls down below

     Em               C         G  F
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas

               C              G
What's one more drifter in the snow..?

     Em               C
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas

     G                D
Merry Christmas,.. merry Christmas


[OUTRO]~
     Em           C                G          D
If there's a star above,.. then it can look like love

         Em           C         G
When they light up the Christmas trees

          Em      C                G          D
If there's a star above,.. then it can look like love

         Em           C         G
When they light up the Christmas tree
