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