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