1. I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers,
C7 F
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours.
F A#
Then today in the mail I received this short little note,
A# C7
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother
F
wrote.
CHORUS:
F A#
'Mary-Ann regrets she's unable to see you again,
A# C7
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
A#
their plan.
A# C7 C C7 F
Good-bye, good luck, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann.
F
2.The weeks have gone by - not a word have I heard
C7
since then.
C7 F
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been.
F A#
I can't eat, I can't sleep, for over and over again,
A# C7 C C7 F
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary-Ann.
CHORUS:
F C7
3.My Mary-Ann died - they say she just wasted away.
C7 C F
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today.
F F7 A#
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone,
C7 C F
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.
CHORUS:
D sixties smash from Kraziekhat!
