A                E                A              D 
The lights shine down the valley, the wind blows up the alley
A                   E                    A    D4 Dm
Oh and I wish I was lyin’ in the arms of Mary 
A                     E       A               D             
She took the pains of boyhood and turned them into feel-good
A                   E                    A  
Oh how I wish I was lyin’ in the arms of Mary

Chorus:
             C#m                      F#m
Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
           D                    E
She put me right on my first mistake
              C#m                         F#m
Summer wasn't gone when I learned all she had to show
           D                    E
She really gave all a boy could take

A           E             A                     D 
So now when I get lonely, still looking for the one and only
A                        E                    A  
That's when I wish I was lyin’ in the arms of Mary

Chorus

A                E                A              D 
The lights shine down the valley, the wind blows up the alley
A                   E                    A    
Oh and I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Lyin’ in the arms of Mary, Lyin’ in the arms of Mary
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Lyin’ in the arms of Mary
