Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]For my name, just call me lonely
And my past, just say [A]it's bad
But the story I'm about to tell you
May sound a little [D]sad
Well I never had nothing,
all I ever owned was me
[G]I was a[A]bout to lose myself
and then I met [D]Mary
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
oh my darling
Darling don't fall in love with me
[G]I will o[A]nly make you lonely
Lonely just like me
[D]Oh my darlin' oh my darlin'
oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' can't you see
[G]To say goodbye[A]
I'll understand it
And walk away from [D]me
But my darlin' she wouldn't listen
She said boy you shut your mouth
[A]If two people really love each other
They should try and work [D]it out
So I listened to my Mary
And my life was filled with glee
[G]But one [A]night at a party
Some bad luck came to me
[D]There was a guy messin' with my Mary
And I begged him to let her [G]be
All I could [A]hear was my Mary cryin'
Because he placed his knife in me
[D]Oh my darlin', oh my darlin',
oh my darlin'
Don't you cry for me
[G]I will o[A]nly make you lonely
Lonely just like [D]me
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, now can't you see
[G]Just say goodbye[A],
I will understand it
Then walk away [D]from me
Just say good[A]bye,
I will understand it

[Outro 1]
And walk away from it
[D]
