AD
You're covered in roses
A
You're covered in ashes
E
You're covered in rain
A
You're covered in baby's
D
You're covered in slashes
A
You're covered in wilderness
E
You're covered in stains
A
You cast aside the sheets
D
You cast aside the shroud
AE
Of another man who serves the world proud
AD
And you greet another son and you lose another one
AE
On some sunny day and always you stay
A

Jesus said mother I couldn't stay another day longer
F#mDA
He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
F#mDA
While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory
B7D
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
A
Oh Mary
D
She moves behind me
AE
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
A
Every time the snow drifts
D
Every way the sand shifts
AE
Even when the night lifts she's always there
F#mDA
Jesus said mother I couldn't stay another day longer
F#mDA
He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
F#mDA
While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory
B7D
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
A
Oh Mary
D
You're covered in roses
A
You're covered in ruins
E
You're covered in secrets
A
You're covered in tree tops
D
Covered in birds
AE
Who can sing a million songs without any words
A
You cast aside the sheets
D
You cast aside the shroud
AE
Of another man who served the world proud
AD
And you greet another son and you lose another one
AE
On some sunny day and always you stay
A
Mary
