E   A

[Verse 1]
A                                                             E
For my name, just call me lonely,  and my past, just say it's bad.
                                                        A
But the story I'm about to tell you  may sound a little sad.
                                          E
I never had nothing. All I ever owned was me.
                                              A
I was about to lose myself, and then I met Mary.

[Chorus]
A                                                                         D
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Darling don't you cry for me.
              E                                      A
'Cause I will only make you lonely. Lonely just like me.
                                                                             D
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling now can't you see?
             E                                           A
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it. And walk away from me.

[Verse 2]
A                                                                E
But my darling, she wouldn't listen. She said boy, you shut your mouth.
                                                                 A
If two people really love each other, they should try to work it out.
                                          B           D
So I listened to my Mary, and my life was filled with glee.
        E                                       A
But one night at a party, some bad luck came to me.
                                                                  D
There was a guy messing with my Mary, and I begged him to let her be.
            E                                                       A
All I could hear was my Mary crying because he placed his knife in me.

[Chorus]
A                                                                          D
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Darling don't you cry for me.
              E                                      A
'Cause I will only make you lonely. Lonely just like me.
                                                                             D
Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling. Oh, my darling now can't you see?
             E                                            A
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it. And walk away from me.
             E                                            A
Just say goodbye; I'll understand it. And walk away from me.
