Mary Ann Regrets

   C                            
1. I saved up my money to buy my 
                 G7
sweetheart some flowers,

G7                                
For Saturday's date and I 
               C
restlessly counted the hours.

C                                 
Then today in the mail I received 
                  F
this short little note,

F     G7
And I broke down inside at the 
message that her mother
C
wrote.


CHORUS:

 C                               
'Mary-Ann regrets she's unable to 
         F
see you again,

F     G7
We're leaving for Europe next week, 
she'll be busy 'till
Continúa después del anuncio
C
then.'

C
They know that she loves me, but 
poor boys don't fit in
      F
their plan.

F    G7              G           
Good-bye, good luck, good-bye my 
G7    C
sweet Mary-Ann.

  C
2.The weeks have gone by - not a 
word have I heard
      G7
since then.

G7                                
In the papers I read of the far 
                C
away places she's been.

C                                 
I can't eat, I can't sleep, for 
            F
over and over again,

F  G7              G            
My mind reads that letter and I 
G7          C
cry for my Mary-Ann.


CHORUS:


  C                              
3.My Mary-Ann died - they say she 
             G7
just wasted away.

G7                            
If I could have seen her I know 
           G      C
she'd be living today.

C                                 
For we loved each other and if 
        C7      F
they  had  left us alone,

G7                        G      
Today she'd be wearing my ring, 
               C
not a blanket of stone.
