Biography:
Strand of Oaks is the rock project of American songwriter and producer Timothy Showalter.
In 2003, Showalter's house burned down, his fiancée left him, and he resorted to writing songs on an acoustic guitar while living on park benches in suburban Philadelphia. Those events informed the entirety of his arresting debut, Leave Ruin , an album about loss and brokenness and lack of faith. But as affecting as it was, Showalter is leery of being stuck in the past.

Can't wait to see this guy with the Tallest Man in September. A really under-
rated artist, I should say.
Easy song, here's how it works:
Capo on the first fret, key of G# with the following chord shapes-
G --------- 320003
C --------- X32010
Em -------- 022000
Em7 ------- 020000
G (ii)----- 320033
Em7 (ii)--- 022030
So:
(Intro)
G C G C
G C
Lately he hasn't been listening to me
G C
Lately he hasn't been listening to me
Em Em7 C
I guess he's a man and he's meant to leave
G
Well I'm standing here right next to me
C
I got no girl whose gonna to listen to me
G
What can I do?
C
What can I do?
Em Em7 C
And so I pray the child's prayer I was taught as a little kid
Before my head was stretched
Em
Before my mother died
Em7
Before my brother died
C G
Before the plague... ruined my life
(Bridge)
G C G C
G C
G
I'm gonna change my prayer
I'm gonna change my prayer
C
I'm gonna change my prayer
G
So Mary...
C
So Mary...
G C
So Mary...
G (ii) G
So Mary, Mary, Mary would you marry me?
G(ii) G
Mary, Mary, Mary would you marry me?
Em7 (ii) Em
And me and you and Jesus could be a family
G (ii) G
Mary, Mary, Mary if you'd marry me?
Em7 (ii) Em
Me and Jesus could play and do child-like things
G (ii) G Em G
Oh Mary, Mary, Mary would you marry me?
