Mary Ann Regrets Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

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

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

[Verse 4]
Mary Ann regrets
[A]
My Mary [D]Ann died,
they said [G]she [D]just [Em]waste[G]d [A]away[D][E]
My Mary had died too sad,
she just wasted away
[B]

[Verse 5]
If I could have seen her I know
she'd be living [E]today
For we loved each other and if
they had left us [A]alone[F#m]
[B]Today she'd be wearing my ring,
not a blanket of [E]stone

[Outro 1]
