Mary Brown Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Well my name is Charlie Thomas
and I'm as good a man as you
And for the love of Mary Brown
there's [Em]nothin' that I won't do
Well her hus[C]band was [G]a banker,
yet [Em]she told me he was cruel
So [Am]I left his body ly[C]in' in the [G]yard
where their [Am]roses grew.

[Verse 2]
[Am]Well she and I grew up neighbors where
the house[Em]s looked th[Am]e same
And I swear that I loved Mary Brown
be[Em]fore I knew her name
And [C]after she mar[G]ried and he
[Em]moved her away
You know she'd [Am]still come back [C]and lay
with me like [G]nothin' had ever [Am]changed.

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[C]I know what's what's w[G]rong
and [Em]right
What goes around, [Am]comes around
[C]But there ain't nothin'
that [G]I won't do
[Em]For the love of Mary
[Am]Brown.

[Verse 4]
Well people like [Am]him always
[Em]look [Am]down on me
Because I've done a little
time for [Em]armed robbery
Yeah, but [C]Mary Brown [G]knows
I'm [Em]from a good family
[Am]And she didn't s[C]ay nothing' when
she [G]slipped me the back [Am]door [C]key.

[Verse 5]
I know what's [G]wrong
and [Em]right
What goes [Am]around comes around
[Em]But [C]there ain't nothin'
that [G]I won't [Em]do
For the love of Mary [Am]Brown.

[Verse 6]
Well at my [Am]trial she testified
[Em]she kissed me once [Am]or twice
But she swore that was long
before [Em]she became his wife
And [C]every time I [G]looked at
her she [Em]avoided my eyes
And [Am]the jury sen[C]tenced me
to twenty- [G]five years [Am]to life.

[Verse 7]
[Am]
Now I haven't seen Mary Brown
since the trial's end
And she never answers
the let[Em]ters that I send
And I [C]heard that she mar[G]ried [Em]her
husband's best friend
Yeah [Am]but for the love of [C]Mary Brown,
[G]man I'd do it all again.
[Am]

[Verse 8]
[C]
I know what's [G]wrong
and [Em]right
What goes around,
[Am]come[C]s arou[Em]nd[G][Em]
[Am]But [C]there ain't nothin'
that [G]I won't d[Em]o
For the love [Am]of Mary Brown.
