from ‘Music Of My Mind’ (1972)
CAPO 2nd FRET
(Original Key: E)
Intro:
Verse 1:
Mary wants to be a super-wo -man,
But is that really in her head?
But I just want to live each day,
To love her for what she is, mmm-hmm, mmm.
Mary wants to be another movie star,
But is that really in her mind?
And all the things she wants to be,
She needs to, leave be-hind. [Em7/A]But…
Chorus 1:
Very well, I be-lieve I know you, very well,
Wish that you knew me too, very well.
And I think I can deal with every-thing going through your head.
Very well, I be-lieve I know you, very well,
Wish that you knew me too, very well.
And I think I can cope with every-thing going through your head.
Verse 2:
Mary wants to be a super-wo -man,
And try to boss the bull around.
But does she really think that,
She’ll get by with a dream?
My woman want to be a super-wo -man,
And I just had to say good-bye.
Because I can’t spend all my hours start to cry, [Em7/A] but…
Chorus 2:
Very well, I be-lieve I know you, very well,
Wish that you knew me too, very well.
And I think I can deal with every-thing going through your head.
Very well, I be-lieve I know you, very well,
Wish that you knew me too, very well.
And I think I can cope with every-thing going through your head.
(Your filthy head).
Chorus 3:
Very well, dum dum da, dum dum da, very well,
Wish that you knew me too, very well.
And I think I can deal with every-thing going through your head.
Very well, dum dum da, dum dum da, very well,
Dum dum da, dum dum da, very well.
And I think I can cope with every-thing going through your head.
