Mary
(J. Sellards/S. Hoffman)
Bmaj7 F#m7 D E
== Verse I ==
Bmaj7 F#m7
I love the tone that's in your laugh
D
Gasping for an extra breath
E Bmaj7
Waiting for the time to pass
F#m7
I believe in days ahead
D
Don't spend another night alone
E Bmaj7 E Bmaj7 D A
Cross and wishing you were dead
== Chorus ==
Abm Emaj7 Eb7
Mary, you shouldn't let them make you mad
Abm Emaj7 Eb7
You hold the best you can
Abm Emaj7 Eb7
And Mary, after all the pain is done
Abm Emaj7 Eb7
I'm always gonna live to be your man
== Interlude ==
Dbm7 Dbm7/A* Dbm7 Dbm7/A
Bmaj7 F#m7 D E
== Verse II ==
I've had it easy now you see
When I'm down you're always there
Standing by to comfort me
Someday we'll go around the world
I'll make the journey so sublime
I know you're not a travelin' girl
== Chorus ==
== Interlude ==
== Bridge ==
B B/A
'Cause I'd give everything I have
Abm7
Forget all the things that bring me joy
E Dbm7 B
If you could have one day pure and simple happiness
B/A
Until that moment comes
Abm7
I'll be here where I've always been
E Dbm7
I'm gonna be your friend until the day I die
== Chorus ==
== Interlude Out ==
*I should point out that the chords for the interlude are only my interpretation of the
piano part on the record, and I've included a suggestion on fingering the chords for guitar.
