Mean Mary - Methinks I See Thee Jane

CAPO: 2nd Fret

## NOTE: ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##

[Intro]
G D G D

[Verse 1]
G C D
When the hush of night lays deep, when the moon shines eerie red
G C D
When most watchers are asleep and even nightmares stay in bed
C D C
I waited and I waited, to find the pictures in my mind
D C
But a scene I’d not created and those pictures intertwined
D C
Within a tangled dream, a firefly flits about
D G
A scene almost unseen, just a flash, the flash goes out

[Chorus]
D C G
With contradictions all about
D C G
My convictions turn to doubt
D C ~ Am
Oh, how bitter a thought’s free rein
D G C D G C D
Methinks I see thee, Jane

[Verse 2]
G C D
Was that a gleam of golden hair, flashing here, flashing there
G C D C
Or just a dream caught unaware, a vision of the moonlight’s glare
D C
Hush, don’t say a word, your eyesight’s overwrought
D C
Maybe something really stirred, maybe so or maybe not
D C
No one is planting flowers in the prowling time of night
D G
But in these short dark hours, even memories can bite

[Chorus]
D C G
What’s that form there in the dark?
D C G
Just a pine tree in the park?
D C ~ Am
Oh, let me not be mad, insane
D G C D G C D
Methinks I see thee, Jane

[Verse 3]
G C D
When I finally think it through, finally master my confusion
G C D C
Naughty shadows bend askew, charging through my grand illusion
D C
Who’s there, who goes, who’s going? My involuntary words
D C
Was it just the winds soft blowing, or nocturnal flocks of birds?
D C
Was it just the hesitation of a deer before it fled
D G
Was it my imagination, or was Jane somewhere ahead?

[Chorus]
D C G
A startled “Hey”, a faint “Goodbye”
D C G
Then away, away she’ll fly
D C ~ Am
Words, words, mere words remain
D G C D G C D
Methinks I see thee, Jane

[Instrumental]
G

[Verse 4]
G C D
High above the city streets, perched upon a window sill
G C D C
Above the night-time city beats, sang a lonely whippoorwill
D C
I heard it’s melancholy song, I know she heard it too
D C
She’d been hidden all along, oh, she saw me and withdrew
D C
Has her minutes, has her ways, but always a survivor
D G
Plays a part to make her plays, she knows what she’s alive for

[Chorus]
D C G
To hide and seek or seek and hide
D C G
Through windows sneak, through locks untried
D C ~ Am
What light shines through yon window pane?
D G C D G C D C
Methinks I see thee, Jane

[Interlude]
G D C
Woah-oh-oh
G D C
Woah-oh-oh
G D C
Woah-oh-oh
G D G
Woah-oh-oh

[Chorus]
D C G
Like a lady, like a child
D C G
Always shady, always wild
D C ~ Am
So foul and fair a day, deceives my brain
D C
Methinks I see
D C
Methinks I see
D G C D G C D
Methinks I see thee, Jane
