[Bb]
[Bb]She's tryin' to be a [C]good girl
And [F]give 'em what they [Dm]want
[Bb]But Margery's [C]dreaming of [Bb]horses
Lookin' at a green sky
Sun like a red eye
Bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by
(w/ fill 3)
She's tired and lonely
Scared and depressed
Her visions of one day go racing the next
She's tryin' to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of horses

And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of...
Trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of horses
