Key: D major

Intro 1

Verse 1
D D 
 
I saved up my money to buy
A A 
 
my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I
D D 
 
restlessly counted the hours.
Then today in the mail I received
G G 
 
this short little note
A A 
 
And I broke down inside at the
message that her mother wrote.
D D 
 

Verse 2
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to
A A 
 
see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week,
D D 
 
she'll be busy till then.
They know that she loves me,
G G 
 
but poor boys don't fit in their plan.
A A 
 
Good-bye true true love,
D D 
 
good-bye my my sweet Mary An n.

Verse 3
D D 
 
The weeks have gone by not a word
A A 
 
have I heard since then;
In the papers I read of the far
D D 
 
away places she's been.
I can't eat, I can't sleep for
G G 
 
over and over again
A A 
 
My mind reads that letter and
D D 
 
I cry for my Mary Ann.

Verse 4
D D 
 
Mary Ann regrets she's unable
A A 
 
to see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week,
D D 
 
she'll be busy till then.
They know that she loves me but poor
G G 
 
boys don't fit in their plan.
A A 
 
Good-bye true true love,
good-bye my my sweet Mary Ann.
D D 
 

Verse 5
My Mary Ann died,
A A 
 
they said she just wasted away;
If I could have seen her I know
D D 
 
she'd be living today.
For we loved each other and if
G G 
 
they'd have left us alone,
A A 
 
Today she'd be wearing my ring,
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
not a blanket of stone.

Verse 6
D D 
 
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to
A A 
 
see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week,
D D 
 
she'll be busy till then.
They know that she loves me but poor
G G 
 
boys don't fit in their plan.
A A 
 
Good-bye true true love,
G G 
 
A A 
 
good-bye my my sweet Mary-Ann
G G 
 
D D 
 
Mary-Ann
