B F#7
1. I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers,
F#7 B
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours.
B E
Then today in the mail I received this short little note,
E F#7
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother
B
wrote.
CHORUS:
B E
'Mary-Ann regrets she's unable to see you again,
E F#7
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy 'till
B
then.'
B
They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in
E
their plan.
E F#7 F# F#7 B
Good-bye, good luck, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann.
B
2.The weeks have gone by - not a word have I heard
F#7
since then.
F#7 B
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been.
B E
I can't eat, I can't sleep, for over and over again,
E F#7 F# F#7 B
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary-Ann.
CHORUS:
B F#7
3.My Mary-Ann died - they say she just wasted away.
F#7 F# B
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today.
B B7 E
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone,
F#7 F# B
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.
CHORUS:
G# sixties smash from Kraziekhat!
