Holy Mary - Static Youth (Cover)

[Intro] [overdriven electric guitar riff, steady drum beat, bass enters] [Verse 1] [acoustic guitar enters, clean electric guitar fills] There was always yellin' at our house Thumping against the wall Dad didn't like Mum very much Mum didn't like Dad at all And I'd lie awake Listen to their marriage break And little sister crying in the room next door I knew I had to get away [Pre-Chorus] [electric guitar power chords] Put a thousand down on a V8 van A little bit of luck and a sloppy front end Three hours later, one twenty through the main street of Taylor Bend And I was singing [Chorus] [full band, driving energy, group harmony vocals] Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need [Verse 2] [acoustic guitar and bass, drums continue] Sunshine Melbourne, past the morning The order bank's running low Got a job washing dishes in a Carlton restaurant Watching the hours go I met her in a rock and roll joint where the carpet sticks to your shoes The band was playing "I'm Beginning to Lie" It's been here too long blues She said if we travel together It's got to be a highway code She threw her Puma bag in the back of the van and We scooted up Sydney Road and we were singing [Chorus] [group harmony vocals] Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need [Bridge] [electric guitar solo, melodic and bluesy] If I thought about it, never would have done it Guess I would have let it slide If you listen to others, you never know where you stand And the words of all those songs ring true They try to put the blame on you You can only play the cards that are in your hand [Verse 3] [drums and bass, light guitar] We fell apart in a roadhouse A little out of Nelson Bay Must have changed her mind about a thousand times Before I drove away Things always happen in circles When the dust gets in your eyes The past in the rear-view mirror Don't think about tomorrow twice, just keep singing [Chorus] [full band, high energy] Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need [Outro] [repeated chorus with vocal ad-libs] Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need (Won't you pray for me) Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need [guitar soloing over fading rhythm section] Holy Mary, pray for me In my hour of need [fade out]
