Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Mary Provost did not[C] look her bes[D]t[G]
The day the cops bust into [C]her lonely [D]nest[G]
In the cheap hotel up
[Em]on Hollywood W[C]est Ju[D]ly 2[G]9
She'd been lyin' there
for [C]two or three week[D]s
[G]The neighbors said
they [C]never heard [D]a squeak[G]
For hungry eyes [Em]that could not speak
[C]Said even little doggie's have [D]got to eat
ã??
She was [G]winner
[D]The bec[G]ame the dog[D]gie's din[C]ner
[Am]She never meant that much
[G]to me
[C](But now I see) Oh
[D]poor Mar[G]y[C][G][D][G]
ã??
Mary Provost [C]was a movie [D]queen
[G]Mysterious angel of the silen[C]t scr[D]een
[G]And run like the wind
the na[Em]tion's young men [C]steam
When Mary crossed the [D]si lent screen
[G]Oh she came out west fro[C]m New Yor[D]k
[G]But when the talkies came
Mary [C]just couldn't [D]cope[G]
Her public said [Em]Mary take a [C]walk
All the way back [D]to [G]New York[D][G][D][C]
[Am][G]
[C][D][G][C][G][D]
[G][Em][C][G][D]
[G][D][Em][C][D]
[G]ã??
Those twin balms did[C]n't help her [D]sleep
[G]As her nights grew long
and her [C]days grew [D]bleak
[G]It's all downhill
once you've [Em]passed your peak
[C]Mary got ready for that las[D]t big sleep
[G]The cops came in
and they [C]looked [D]around
[G]Throwing up everywhere over
[C]what they [D]found
[G]The handy work of Mar[Em]y's
little [C]dachshund
That [D]hungry [G]lit[D]tle[G][D]
dachshun[C]d[Am][G][C]
[D][G][C][G]
[D]Poor Mar[G]y, poo[C]r M[G]ary[D],[G]
[C]poo[G]r p[D]oor Mary[G][C][G]
[D]Poor Mary
