[F#m]Who lost his love when he[A] turned bad
[D]

[Verse 2]
Take a message to Mary but
[A]don't tell her where I [D]am
Take a message to Mary but
[A]don't say I'm in a [D]jam
You can [Bm]tell her I had [F#m]to see the world
or [Bm]tell her that [E]my ship set [A]sail
You can [D]say she'd [F#m]better not [G]wait for [D]me
[Bm]but don't tell her I'm in ja[A]il[Bm]
Oh, [D]don't tell her [A]I'm in [D]jail

[Verse 3]
Take a message to [D]Mary but [A]don't
tell her what I've [D]done
Please don't mention the stagecoach
and [A]the shot from a careless [D]gun
You can [Bm]tell her I had [F#m]to change my
plans and [Bm]cancel out [E]the wedding [A]day
But [D]please don't [F#m]mention my [G]lonely [D]cell
where [Bm]I'm gonna pine a[A]way[Bm]
Un[D]til my [A]dying [D]day

[Verse 4]
Take a message to [D]Mary but
[A]don't tell her all you [D]know
My heart's achin' for Mary,
Lord [A]knows I miss her [D]so
Just [Bm]tell her I went to [F#m]Timbuktu,
[Bm]tell her I'm [E]searchin' for [A]gold
You can [D]say she'd [F#m]better find [G]someone
[D]new [Bm]to cherish and [A]to [Bm]hold
Oh, [D]Lord, this [A]cell is [D]cold

[Verse 5]
[D]Mary, [Bm]Mary
Oh, [D]Lord this [A]cell is [D]cold
