capo 5 — sounds 5 semitones higher

Verse 1

Did you hear the wind blowing cold
In the old town of Atlanta
Miss Mary Jones was growing old
But you couldn’t really see her

Interlude 1

  

Verse 2

She hid in the dark night sky
Walking with crowds of strangers
Speaking their foreign goodbyes
And whisperin’ when there is danger

Interlude 2

  

Verse 3

Others said don’t go near them walkers
But be on guard to start your running
Save your sons and save your daughters
And keep them small kids from humming

Verse 4

So Lock all of your back doors
And close all your blinds
Stay off of your creaky floors
Cause like liquor you’re the lucky find

Verse 5

Cause Miss Mary Jones would holler
If she ever saw you near
You can bet your bottom dollar
That she’d make sure you were cleared

Interlude 3

  

Verse 6

Don’t freeze from the horrid sight
Cause it’s like your greatest fear
Like bringin’ a knife to a gun fight
Make sure you’re nowhere here

Interlude 4

     
     

Verse 7

Cause those walkers they will chase you
Till the crack of dawn
So make sure you have your running shoes
To leap across the lawn

Bridge

Remember our Miss Mary Jones
Well now people can see
She’s stumbling right here in front of you
And she’s comin’ after me
Comin’ for me 
Comin’ for me 
Comin’ for me 
And now people will see
Ooo   Ooo    Ooo

Verse 8

Do you hear the wind blowing cold
In the old town of Atlanta
Miss Mary Jones is wrinkled and old
And now we never see her.
