"Mary Spins A Rainbow" -- Material Issue

Written by:  Jim Ellison
Transcribed by:  Mike Novak

This is an old song (circa 1987?) which doesn't appear on any of
their major label albums, but it's on an independent release (on
groovy blue vinyl!) from before they were signed.  I'm guessing
at some of the lyrics, but they're pretty close.

[Intro:]

(clean)

e-----O--------O-------O--------O---
b---O--------O-------O--------O-----
g-2-----1-(1)----1-2-----1-(1)----1-  etc.
d-----------------------------------
a-----------------------------------
e-----------------------------------
(tie)            (tie)

Play that a few times, and then the strum throughout on Esus/E:

e---O---------O-----
b---O--O---O--O--O--
g---2--1---1--2--1--  etc.
d---2--2---2--2--2--
a---2--2---2--2--2--
e-------------------
