G D7
1. I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers,
D7 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 D7
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 D7
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 D7 D D7 G
Good-bye, good luck, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann.
G
2.The weeks have gone by - not a word have I heard
D7
since then.
D7 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 D7 D D7 G
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary-Ann.
CHORUS:
G D7
3.My Mary-Ann died - they say she just wasted away.
D7 D G
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today.
G G7 C
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone,
D7 D G
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.
CHORUS:
E sixties smash from Kraziekhat!
