Em D
My name is Mary
C
I'm from Greenville, Mississippi
Em C
This is where I live
C
in this old folks' dormitory
Em G C
Every Sunday night Sarah comes to see us
Em G
She plays that old upright
C
but Sarah always seems to leave us
Em D Em D C
When she plays something comes over me
D Em C
'cause from my head all the way to my feet
[Chorus]
G
I wanna dance
Dm C
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
C G D Em D C
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
D
All night
G
I wanna dance
Dm C
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
C G D Em D C
I wanna listen to the music that's been ringin' in my ears
C G
'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right out of here
[Verse 2]
Em C
I had three girls and a boy
G C D
but now one's gone off to heaven
Em G
She's with her papa now
C D
'cause he left for lack of penicillin
Em G C
And the older that I get I figure everyone is dyin'
Em G
They're all dyin' for a change
C D
And I know I'm dyin' for some action
Em D Em C
Days like these, Sunday feels so far away
C D G
So until then I'm gonna sit right here,
C
And here I'll stay
[Chorus]
G
I wanna dance
Dm C
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
C G D Em D C
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
D
All night
G
I wanna dance
Dm C
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
C G D Em D C
I wanna listen to the music that's been ringin' in my ears
C D G
'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right out of here
G D Em D C G Am D
right outta here
G D Em D C G Am
Am D Em C
I'd marry you, if you could dance, that's what I said
D Em C
'Cause where I'm goin, there'll be dancing, every day
[Chorus]
G
I wanna dance
Dm C
I wanna snap my fingers all night long and dance
C G D Em D C
I wanna move around the room just like a woman in a trance
D
All night
G
I wanna dance
Dm C
I wanna wrap my arms around your neck and dance
C G D Em D C
I wanna listen to the music that's been ringin' in my ears
C D G
'Cause one day I'm gonna dance right out of here
