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

[Verse 1]
[G]I would not [D]be so stoned
If my [G]Mary [D]were here[G]
I don't think [D]I'd have phoned you
If my [G]Mary were here
I'm a [A]sad sack Sir Ga[Am]lahad
Who's [G]sword's around his [C]knees
[F#m]With a G[Em]rail no l[A]onger holy
And a prayer [G]that's say[F#m]ing,
[E]please
[Em]I wo[D]uld not be alone
If my [G]Mary were here
But she took [C]off
And Lord [G]I'm lost.
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
I [D]don't think I'd be drinking
If my [G]Mary were here
And I [D]know what I'd be thinking
If my [G]Mary were here
We'd be [A]wrapping up a [G]blanket
Full of [F#m]ched dar cheese a[Em]nd wine
[A]Packing up our [G]camper with
a [F#m]rendezvous in [Em]mind
[A]And we'd [D]picnic out in Lincoln Park
[G]If Mary were here
[C]But she split
So [G]I got lit
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
I'm [C]sorry that [D]I called you
In the [C]middle of [D]the night
But [C]you're the one who [D]listens
When [Bm]I need a little [E]light
I [A]know we haven't [C]talked
Since [A]I dropped you in [G]the dirt
I [A]know you're not my lady [C]now
But [Em]Baby, [G]how I hur[Asus4]t.[A]

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][G][D]
[G][A][G][F#m]
[Em][A][G][F#m][Em][Asus4][D]
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G](I could [D]whi[G]stl[C]e up an old tu[D]ne
That your [C]memory might re[D]call
[C]Rustle up some re [D]minisce
'Bout the [Bm]good old days [E]and all
If I were [A]seeking someone [C]else
[A]I could find a way [G]to hide
But [A]I'm pleading like a pau[C]per, Babe
And it [Em]leaves [G]no place
for [Asus4]pride)[Esus4][A]

[Verse 5]
[A]I w[B]oul[E]d toss away my troubles
When my [A]Mary was here
But now [E]I'm lost inside the ruble
Cause my [A]Mary's not here
So [B]could I come on [A]over
With my [G#m]heart in my [B]hands
[Bsus4]And place it [B]on your pillow[A]
Like a [G#m]rusty old tin [F#m]can
[E]I'm drunk and seeing double
And my [A]Mary's not here
Once [D]again
[A]Be the friend
That you've [D]been
And take [A]me in[E].[A]
[E]Please tak[Esus4]e me

[Verse 6]
[E]in
[Bsus4].[A][E]
