Intro: G F (2x) G C G F

verse:
F              Am  G
 Had a bit part
G
 An endless reel
Am                   G   F
 It always played in slo-mo
F                 Am G
 But now it's fast
G
 A spinning wheel
C             G F
 I know the dynamo
G  F
My heart
G  F
Is cast

CHORUS:
C          G
 Speedy Marie
Bb            Eb
 Ahead of the now
F             C            G
 She's better built that's how
                Bb
She's built for speed
Eb          F       
  Speedy Marie
          C  G  F     
Speedy Marie

VERSE 2:
F              Am G
 Oh, yes indeed
G
 I said to me
Am                  G  F
 And so I sing this romaunt
F               Am G 
 It's not enough
G
 My liberty
C                 G  F
 There is a thing I want
G  F
I need
G  F
I love

CHORUS

BRIDGE: (guitar doesn’t play til “And my one delight”)
     Bb   C        D            F
Juxtaposed in each moment's sight
     Bb   C       D      F*
Everything that I ever saw
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
       C           F
Always it will soothe
      Bb  C        Dm       F
Rarer none are the precious cheeks
       Bb  C        Dm            F
Is the size of each sculpted tooth
         C           F
Each lip and each eye
            Bb    C        Dm           F
Wise is the tongue, wet of perfect thought
            Bb  C        Dm        
And softest neck where always do I
F       C           F
 Lay my clumsy thoughts
       Bb  C     Dm      F
She is that most lovely art
      Bb C        Dm         F       C    F
Happy are my mind and my soul and my heart

Bb C Dm F
Bb C Dm F C 

end on: F
