There are several songs I've done for artists for whom
I don't have individual pages -- some favorites of mine, some by special
request -- and it seemed like a waste not to include them
on the site, so here they are.

From the wonderful NJ-based duo The Marys: Don Brody and Connie Sharar. Tragically, Don died
in late 1997 after releasing one CD, "Back This Way." "Hey Maryann" and "The Day Roy Orbison Died" are two
songs I first heard Don (and his partner at the time, Ann Walsh) perform at an open mike at a place called
"Live Tonight" in Hoboken, NJ . . . gosh, back in the late 80's, I think . . . and which were first released
on a demo tape called "Your Friends, The Marys." Great stuff.

There are many versions of this traditional song, but my favorite is from
Karla Bonoff's "Restless Nights" album.
Playing this song as Karla does really relies on accentuating the bass
notes as you fingerpick the chords. So in the chord diagrams, the
lowest string I indicate without an "x" should be the one you pluck,
although you may actually be fingering a lower string. In the case of the
(Bm), for example, you'd ordinarily play it as a barre chord with your
first finger covering all strings including the low E. But as you'll see
since I wrote it "x24432", make sure that the lowest note you pluck is the
second fret on the 5th string. This will help you accomplish the fact that
the first two lines in each verse are really just a series of bass line
walkdown sequences . . . which you can hear clearly on Karla's recording.
That rule also holds for the high strings. On the (G) chord which I've
written as "32003x", the highest note you should pluck is the 3rd
fret on the 2nd string.
The only thing I'll have trouble describing is the sequence at the end of
each of the first and fourth lines of each verse, which I've indicated with
an asterisk. It's really a D-based hammer-on/pull-off bit where you'll
finger the (D) chord, add a pinky on the third fret to make it a (Dsus4),
pull it off to go back to the (D), pull off the second fret to make it a
(Dsus2), then add the middle finger back to the second fret to go back to
the full (D). I hope that makes sense. Now here are the chords:
D: xx0232
When I play the (D/B), I wrap my thumb around to get the 2nd fret on the 5th string, but
if you can't do that, what you may just want to do is pull your middle
finger off the 1st string to hit that note, which would then make the chord
x2023x. Or, you may choose to move your index finger from the 3rd string
instead. If you do that (x20x32), just make sure you don't pluck the now
open G string.
Em7: 020030

The only Fred Eaglesmith CD that I own is the live "Ralph's Last Show," so
this version of that song may not be true to the original studio version.
In fact, I'm primarily only familiar with Fred through the songs that other
singers have covered, so if you're interested, you can find "Wilder Than
Her" on my
Dar Williams page, and "Freight Train" on my
Kasey
Chambers page.
Emsus: 022200
Intro: (Em)(Emsus) . . . 8x
Well (Em)up and down these empty streets
(Em)Kickin' in them old tin cans

CHORUS (2x)
So (Em)I don't ride anymore
(Em)I guess I can catch a train
CHORUS
DADGAD
D: 000200
*In the break between the second and third verses, add an F# note on the
high E string and play the chords as follows:
D: 000204
Intro: (D)(G*) . . . 4x
(Em)I'm wearing that (D/F#)dress
(Em)The end of the (D/F#)street
*(D)(D/C#)(D/B) . . . 4x
(Em)You're married by (D/F#)now
(D)(G*) . . . 4x . . . then end on (D)
I think that Patty actually plays this song in some bizarre open tuning, CGCGCD or
something like that, but this transcription should get you pretty close.

(G)Out there in the noonday heat
(D)Dusty hair and tired feet
I'm (Am)wondering about her
(G)Clickin' sticks along the fence
(D)Wonderin' where the good times went
(Am)I'm not really sure
A (Em)rodeo boy
A (G)rodeo boy
A (D)rodeo boy
In a one-horse (Am)town
(G)People throwin' looks my way
I (D)guess they don't know what to say
(Am)Since they heard the news
She (G)took him right out of his world
(D)Left him standing on the curb
(Am)Now he's got the blues
My (G)saddle hangs behind the door
My (D)boots are standing on the floor
I (Am)walk around in shoes
I keep (G)hopin' that her mind'll change
(D)Hopin' she'll come back again
I (Am)guess I'm just a fool

I've pulled on those (G)gloves
I put on my (D/F#)veil
We once were in (Em)love
We once had it (D/F#)all
The entire (G)sky
We threw it (D/F#)away
And I (A)wonder why (Bm)passion's always half im(G)possi(D/F#)bility
But (G)lovers that we lose we never (D/F#)dare for(G)get
We visit them in mourning in De(D/F#)cember and in (G)May
In the (Em)graveyard of (A)St. Mary's (D)of Regret (G*)(D)(G*)
The wrought iron (G)gate
The cobblestone (D/F#)path
The names and the (Em)date
The anxious hel(D/F#)lo
The everyday (G)laugh
The intimate (D/F#)tears
The (A)epitaph (Bm)"passion's always half im(G)possi(D/F#)bility . . . "
But (G)lovers that we lose we never (D/F#)dare for(G)get
We visit them in mourning in De(D/F#)cember and in (G)May
In the (Em)graveyard of (A)St. Mary's (D)of Regret
She's kind, I sup(G)pose
Does she know what she (D/F#)has
Does she tell you she (Em)knows
Do you put on the (D/F#)suit
Do you try on the (G)tie
Do you walk through that (D/F#)gate
Do you (A)wonder why (Bm)passion's always half im(G)possi(D/F#)bility
But (G)lovers that we lose we never (D/F#)dare for(D/F#)get
Maybe someday there I'll see you in De(D/F#)cember or in (G)May
In the (Em)graveyard of (A)St. Mary's (D)of Regret

GOOD THING . . . Patty Larkin
And I've (D)seen (Asus)enough
And I (G)know enough (Asus)to (D)know
I know a (D)good (Asus)thing when I (D)see (Asus)it
And it's a (G)bad thing (Asus)to let (D)go
I've been (D)up and (Asus)down
Until I (G)bent out (Asus)of con(D)trol
With your (D)world (Asus)all in (D)mo(Asus)tion
Got to put a (G)ball and chain (Asus)on your (D)soul
(F#m)Picking (G)up the pieces
(Em)Putting (D/F#)back together (G)hearts broke long (Asus)ago
I know a (D)good (Asus)thing when I (D)see (Asus)it
And it's a (G)bad thing (Asus)to let (D)go
Be (D)lov(Asus)ers
With (G)borders (Asus)of their (D)own
And you may (D)charge (Asus)across
In a golden (D)char(Asus)iot
But you will (G)never (Asus)be (D)home
Distant (D)thun(Asus)der
I had (G)hope like a prayer (Asus)un(D)heard
Now this is (D)no(Asus)thing
Less than (D)per(Asus)fect
In a (G)less than per(Asus)fect (D)world
(F#m)Picking (G)up the pieces
(Em)Putting (D/F#)back together (G)hearts broke long (Asus)ago
I know a (D)good (Asus)thing when I (D)see (Asus)it
And it's a (G)bad thing (Asus)to let (D)go
