Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
These are [D]the words of [Bm]a frontier lad
Who [F#m]lost his love when h[A]e
turned [F#m]bad[A][D]
Take a message to [Bm]Mary
But [G]don't tell her [A]where I [D]am
Take a message to [Bm]Mary,
but [G]don't say [A]I'm in a jail
[D]You can tel[Bm]l her that I had
to see [F#m]the world
Tell [E]her that my ship's at sail
[A]Tel[F#m]l her [D]she'd better
[F#m]not wa[G]it for me
[D]But [Bm]don't tell her I'm in jail
Please [D]don't tell her [A]I'm in [D]jail
Take a message to [Bm]Mary,
but [G]don't tell her [A]what I've [D]done
Please don't mention the stage[Bm]coach
and the [G]shot from a care[A]less [D]gun
You can [Bm]tell her that I had
to [F#m]change my plans
and [E]cancel out the wedding day
[A]But ple[D]ase don't mentio[F#m]n my lone[G]ly self
[D]Where I'm[Bm] gonna hide awa[A]y[Bm]
Until [D]my [A]dying [D]day[Bm][G][A][D][Bm]
[G][A][D]
[Bm][F#m][E][A][D][F#m][G][D][Bm]
[D][A][D]
Take a message to [Bm]Mary,
but [G]don't tell her [A]all you [D]know
My heart's aching [A]for [Bm]Mary,
Lord [G]knows I [A]miss her [D]so
You can [Bm]tell her that I've
gone to [F#m]Timbuktu
You can [E]tell her that I'm searching for gold
[A]You can tel[D]l her that she'd
better [F#m]find s[G]omeone new
[D]To [Bm]cherish and to hold
Oh, [D]Lord, this [A]cell is [D]cold.

[Verse 2]
[D]Mary, [Bm]Mary.
Oh, [D]Lord, this [A]cell is [D]cold.
