A E7
1. I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers,
E7 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 E7
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 E7
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 E7 E E7 A
Good-bye, good luck, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann.
A
2.The weeks have gone by - not a word have I heard
E7
since then.
E7 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 E7 E E7 A
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary-Ann.
CHORUS:
A E7
3.My Mary-Ann died - they say she just wasted away.
E7 E A
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today.
A A7 D
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone,
E7 E A
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.
CHORUS:
F# sixties smash from Kraziekhat!
