Pattern 1: Marcie in the quilt of flowers C6add2         G Cadd2 G Steps inside a candy store Reds are sweet and greens are sour Still no letter at her door         So she’ll wash her flower curtains Hang them in the wind to dry Dust her tables with his shirt and wave another day goodbye         Cadd2    Cadd2 ........repeat Pattern 1 for the following  : Marcie’s faucet needs a plumber Marcie’s sorrow needs a man Red is autumn green is summer Greens are turning and the sand All along the ocean beaches stares up empty at the sky Marcie buys a bag of peaches stops a postman passing by Pattern 2 : And summer goes falls to the sidewalk like string and brown paper Winter blows up from the river There’s no one to to take her...... to the sea                                          .........use Pattern 1 for the following : Marcie dresses warm its snowing takes a yellow cab uptown red is stop and green’s for going Sees a show and rides back down Down along the Hudson River Past the shipyards in the cold still no letter’s been delivered still the winter’s days unfold .......and Pattern 2 for this : Like magazines fading in dusty grey attics and servers make a dream Dream back to summer and all he tells her Wait for me .......back to Pattern 1 for : Marcie leaves and doesn’t tell us Where why she moved away Red is angry green is jealous that was all she had to say Someone thought they saw her Sunday window shopping in the rain Some heard she bought a one-way ticket and went west again CHORDS :     DGDGBD              DGDGBD            DGDGBD              DGDGBD     x33030              x22022            x22010              x02010 or C6add2                                DGDGBD              DGDGBD            DGDGBD              DGDGBD    x8888x              x77777            x55555              x44444      D#           D    C         B         DGDGBD              DGDGBD            DGDGBD              DGDGBD   x44030              x55055            505430              000000       (2) (2)         NOTES : I play the G(2) like this : B---2s3--------------------| ----4---------------------| G----0---------------------| ----5---------------------| any corrections or improvements are of course welcome...
