[Intro]
D D/C# Bm G D A
[Verse 1]
D D/C#
Said she came from Portland
Bm
Where the ashen skies and leaden ocean
G D A G
Left her like the local boys, barren of emotion
D D/C#
As we talked we watched the raindrops
Bm
Running down the window
F#m
Laundromat in Darlinghurst
G A
Like a fish shop from the past
[Chorus]
G D
And her mother called her Mary
A
After Mary Magdalene
Bm F#m
To deny her beauty
G A
Would have been the greatest sin
G D
It was a profile in the neon
A D
and a Kings Cross Doorway lean
G D G A
To half an hour of tending someone else's tangled dream
[Verse 2]
D D/C#
There were lines of sailors, lines of speed
Bm G
Lines upon the Footpath where she stared
D A G
When things were quiet, as night deferred to dawn
D D/C#
And the coke cups played red rover
Bm
In the breeze that scuttled through the streets
F#m
Taxies left for greener fields
G A
While Sydney stretched and yawned
[Chorus]
G D
And her mother called her Mary
A
After Mary Magdalene
Bm F#m
There were virgins in the morning
G A
She had sisters in the pain;
G D
And the wives would clutch their husbands
