Mary Ann Regrets Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

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

[Verse 2]
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to
see [A]you 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]plan.
Good-bye [A]true true love,
good-bye my my sweet Mary [D]An n.

[Verse 3]
[D]
The 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
My [A]mind reads that letter and
I cry for my Mary An[D]n.

[Verse 4]
[D]
Mary Ann regrets she's unable
to see [A]you 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]plan.
Good-bye [A]true true love,
good-bye my my sweet Mary Ann.
[D]

[Verse 5]
My Mary Ann died,
they said she just [A]wasted away;
If I could have seen her I know
she'd be living [D]today.
For we loved each other and if
they'd have left us [G]alone,
[A]Today she'd be wearing my ring,
not [D]a blanket [A]of sto[D]ne.

[Verse 6]
[D]
Mary Ann regrets she's unable to
see [A]you 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]plan.
Good-bye [A]true true love,
good-bye my [G]my sweet [A]Mary-Ann
[G]Mar[D]y-Ann
