[Verse 1]
D G Em A
She grew up in a Mission town
D G Em A
With the hills of sage and the billboard Jesus looking down
G A
She couldn't wait to leave
G A
She did not believe
Bm A D G
The songs they sang outside the liquor stores
Em A D
In Daddy's Family Gospel Band

[Verse 2]
D G Em A
Mama read her bible almost every single day
D G Em A
And Mary and her sisters were brought up the Christian way
G A
In summers they travelled and preached
G A
While her friends were at the beach
Bm A D G
Although she felt the power in the words
Em A
She longed to make them hers
[Chorus]
D G D G
And Mary heard a blue note late one night
D G D G
And Mary felt the darkness flood with light
D G D G
And Mary
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D G Em A
She left home at 18 put away her fiddle case
D G
And tried a life without commandments
Em A
Setting her own pace
G A G A
Now hanging from her neck is the cross her grandma left
Bm A D G
Now she pays the bills playing in a bluegrass band
Em A
It took her years to understand
Em A D G D G
Daddy's Family Gospel Band
[Chorus]
D G D G
And Mary heard a blue note late one night
D G D G
And Mary felt the darkness flood with light
D G D G
And Mary

Oh Mary
