[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
If I
[G]could change Mary's mind,
[A]I'd let you go.[D]
But you know [G]I can't.
I got my [Em]pride.
And [G]outside, Mary,
you're the only one that [A]knows.
If I could change Mary's mind,
I'd let [D]you go
Walk slow and stay in front of me, mister
[G]Keep your eye[D]s straight [G]ahead
I'm a gen[A]erous kind,
but I draw the line
When a stranger takes [D]my bed
Now Mary, she thinks she loves you
So I [G]know what I gotta do
I was [A]mad before, but I ain't no more
Cause time's runnin' out on [D]you
Yeah, Mary,
she's young and ain't accustomed yet
To the ways of a married [G]life
But [A]Mary's mine, and if I give her time
She'll make me a real good [D]wife
She bears my name,
so she shares the blame
And I know that it takes [G]two
[A]Well, I'll forgive her, mister
But I sure ain't in love with [D]you
If I [G]could change Mary's [A]mind[D]
But you know I [G]can't.
Hey, I got [Em]my bride, outside [G]Mary.
You're the only one that [A]knows.
If I could change Mary's mind,
I'd let [D]you go.[C][G][D][C][G][D]
Now mister, this is what the
trail gives [G]out,
ain't no place to run,
[A]when you turn around
you'll be looking down the
barrel of a big ol' [D]gun.
So if you think the Lord's listening,
you better let him hear [G]you speak,
cause you're
[A]Fixin' to be with the other three,
at the bottom of Johnson's [D]Creek
If I [G]could change Mary's mind,
[A]I'd let you[D] go
But you know [G]I can't,
I got my [Em]pride
And out[G]side Mary,
you're the only one [A]that knows
If I could change Mary's mind,
I'd let you [D]go
If I could [G]change Mary's mind,
[A]I'd let you[D] go
But you know I can[G]'t
I got [Em]my pride
And outside [G]Mary,
you're the only one that knows
