F              Am G
Had a bit part
G
An endless reel
Am                   G  F
It always played in slomo
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
A#            D#
Ahead of the now
F             C            G
She's better built that's how
                  A#
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

Chorus

     A#   C        D            F
Juxtaposed in each moment's sight
      A#   C      D     F
Everything that I ever saw
And my one delight
        A# C          Dm         F
Nothing can strike me in such awe
           A#  C           Dm             F
Mouth intricate shapes the voice that speaks
       C           F
Always it will soothe
      A#  C         Dm         F
Rarer none are the precious cheeks
       A#  C        Dm            F
Is the size of each sculpted tooth
         C           F
Each lip and each eye

Wise is 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
