A Word Or Two To Mary

(intro) D A D

       D              D7          
    A word or two to Mary, please 
  G                 D
write a letter for me,
                         Bm        
    that's what my buddy said to me
    A  A7
 today.
       D                  D7      
    I couldn't keep from cryin', 
   G                    D
sad eyes are lookin' at me,
                            A   
    he said I'll tell you what I 
            D
wanted to say.

       D          D7            G
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just 
                 D
hate to leave you alone,
                        Bm       
and I wish that I could watch the 
           A   A7
children grow,
             D        D7       G 
but there's no use denyin', I 
              D
won't be comin' home,

                       A           
just a word or two to you before I 
D
go.

         D             D7       
    Down on my knees beside him I 
   G                 D
begged my buddy to live,
                         Bm        
    I told the Lord to please take 
        A  A7
me instead,
           D              D7      
    but a word or two to Mary was 
G                   D
all my buddy could give,
                               A 
    and just these words were all 
               D
your husband said.

       D              D7      G  
    A word or two to Mary, I must
                 D
 add some of my own,
                       Bm          
    he was the truest friend I ever
  A  A7
 had.
               D              
    I'll keep writing letters to 
D7       G                 D
her, help the children along,
                         A      
    tell them in a way that it's 
             D
from their Dad.

    D          D7              G 
He didn't mind dyin', he just 
                  D
hated to leave you alone,
                            Bm     
and he wished that he could see his
            A  A7
 children grow.
 D               D7              
I'll be standing by them, as I 
G                D
know he'd want me to,
                            A      
and write a word or two to Mary as 
      D
they grow.

                 D              A 
    And write a word or two to 
            D
Mary as they grow.
