Em
[Verse 1]
EmThere in my memory
GJust on periphery
Am CLoose knit like gauze on the center line
Em DThe broke down cobblestone drive
CThe black Maria
[Verse 2]
EmFor when it comes for you
GNothing be done for you
Am CWrite down your name on the dotted line
Em D CShut up your mouth, son, here's the black Maria
[Chorus]
C AmThe black maria
EmComes for us all
D CCan't you hear their boots in the hall?
Em DAnswer your name when they call
CThe black Maria
EmThe black Maria
[Verse 3]
EmWherе are the neighbors?
GThе bootblacking laborers?
Am CThe windows are dark and the shutters drawn
Em D CThe only lone souls who roam are all pariahs
[Verse 4]
EmTurn out your lantern light
GSet your affairs to right
Am CPull out the prayers that you mumble on
Em D CFor everyone is an enemy come the black maria
EmThe black Maria
[Interlude]
Em G Am C Em
D C
[Chorus]
Am EmThe black maria comes for us all
D CCan't you hear their boots in the hall
Em DAnswer your name when they call
CThe black Maria
EmThe black Maria
[Outro]
EmThere in my memory
GJust on periphery
Am CLoose knit like gauze on the center line
Em DThe broke down cobblestone drive
CThe black Maria
EmThe black Maria
