Get Ready Marie Patty Griffin
CAPO VI
[G]She was a pretty good [G*]looking young [G]girl
And she kissed me in such a [D]way
But to [G]get anything, she said [G*]show me the [G]ring
The [D]way they did in those [G]days
Well I [B7]never thought too much a[G]bout it
If [C]I was the marrying [G]kind
But [B7]any young man worth his [G]salt or a damn
[A7]Has other things on his [D]mind
Get [G]ready Marie, get [C]ready [G]Marie
Get ready for dreams to come [D]true
Get [G]ready Marie, get [C]ready for [G]me
There’s so many [D]things we can [G]do
Well [G]I awoke drunk from [G*]the night [G]before
On the morning of my wedding [D]day
And the [G]best man said man, the best [G*]thing to [G]do
Is [D]just keep going that [G]way
But my [B7]pretty young bride wasn’t [G]laughing
When I [C]tripped and fell down the [G]aisle
And [B7]though I was a pain, still no [G]one could complain
That [A7]I wasn’t wearing a [D]smile
Get [G]ready Marie, get [C]ready [G]Marie
Get ready for dreams to come [D]true
Get [G]ready Marie, get [C]ready for [G]me
There’s so many [D]things we can [G]do
No this [B7]isn’t the end of our [G]story
No our [C]marriage stuck like a [G]habit
But I [B7]had a good hunch, when she [C]kissed me a bunch
She could [A7]do other things like a [D]rabbit
Get [G]ready Marie, get [C]ready [G]Marie
Get ready for dreams to come [D]true
Get [G]ready Marie, get [C]ready for [G]me
There’s so many [D]things we can [G]do
{define: * G* basically you could play a C here, but it sounds really nice when you just change the "alternating bass" on the
D-string to C (index-finger on 2nd fret. Saw Patty do it in a youtube video and I call it the Griffin Lick now...}
