A# F7
1. I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers,
F7 A#
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours.
A# D#
Then today in the mail I received this short little note,
D# F7
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother
A#
wrote.
CHORUS:
A# D#
'Mary-Ann regrets she's unable to see you again,
D# F7
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy 'till
A#
then.'
A#
They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in
D#
their plan.
D# F7 F F7 A#
Good-bye, good luck, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann.
A#
2.The weeks have gone by - not a word have I heard
F7
since then.
F7 A#
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been.
A# D#
I can't eat, I can't sleep, for over and over again,
D# F7 F F7 A#
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary-Ann.
CHORUS:
A# F7
3.My Mary-Ann died - they say she just wasted away.
F7 F A#
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today.
A# A#7 D#
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone,
F7 F A#
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.
CHORUS:
G sixties smash from Kraziekhat!
