Just the chords. The guitar fills, as always, are left as an

exercise to the reader. Does anyone have a guess as to what

SPEEDY MARIE

Teenager of the Year

[Intro:]

G F G F G C G F

F

Had a bit part

G

An endless reel

Am F

It always played in slo-mo

F

But now it's fast

G

A spinning wheel

C F

I know the dynamo

F

My heart is cast

[Chorus:]

C G

Speedy Marie

Bb D#

Ahead of the now

F C G

She's better built that's how

Bb

She's built for speed

D# F

Speedy Marie

C G F

Speedy Marie

Oh, yes indeed

I said to me

And so I sing this romaunt

It's not enough

My liberty

There is a thing I want

I need, I love

[repeat chorus]

/Bb /C /D /F

Juxtaposed in each moment's sight

/Bb /C /D /F

Everything that I ever saw

/Bb /F

And my one delight

Bb C Dm F

Nothing can strike me in such awe

Bb C Dm F

Mouth intricate shapes the voice that speaks

Bb F

Always it will soothe

Rarer none are the precious cheeks

Is the size of each sculpted tooth

Each lip and each eye

Wise it the tongue, wet of perfect thought

And softest neck where always do I

Lay my clumsy thoughts

She is that most lovely art

Happy are my mind and my soul

And my heart
