But Margery's dreaming of horses
Lookin' at a green sky
Sun like a red eye
Bright blue horses are the fortune she lives by

She's tired and lonely
Scared and depressed
Her visions of one day go racing the next
She's tryin' to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of horses

This measure repeated 3 times
(with Wurlitzer figure 1, 4 times)
So she takes her pills
Careful and round
(w/ fill 3, second measure only)
One of these days she's gonna
throw the whole bottle down
But she's trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of...
Trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of horses
Wurlitzer and Guitar 1 play the intro again
Finish with another organ solo, with both guitars playing the same
Gm Am Bb C progression they did the first time
